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.
