Figure 6: Statistics of measured and modeled dissipation
rates
during hours 9­14, inclusive. In the leftmost frame, histograms
indicate the distribution of modeled dissipation rates over all horizontal
locations and 6m of depth. Points indicate 1m averages derived from microstructure
measurements. The depths at which the points appear have been multiplied
by the ratio of modeled to measured mixed layer depth, to correct for vertical
advection by unresolved internal wave motions. The second frame shows the
result of the Kolmogorov­Smirnov test. When 1­PKS > 0.9, the
distributions differ at the 90% confidence level. The third frame gives
the discrepancy (measured minus modeled) in three measures of the central
tendency: the median (shaded curve), the geometric mean (solid curve) and
the arithmetic mean (dashed curve). The rightmost frame shows the intermittency
factor (the standard deviation of the logarithm). The filled curve is the
model value; the dashed curve represents the measured data.
