  abstract = {{I}nternal waves contain a large amount of energy in the ocean and are an important source of turbulent mixing. {O}cean mixing is relevant for climate because it drives vertical transport of water, heat, carbon and other tracers. {U}nderstanding the life cycle of internal waves, from generation to dissipation, is therefore important for improving the representation of ocean mixing in climate models. {H}ere, we provide evidence from a regional realistic numerical simulation in the northeastern {P}acific that the wind can play an important role in damping internal waves through current feedback. {T}his results in a reduction of 67% of wind power input at near-inertial frequencies in the region of study. {W}ind-current feedback also provides a net energy sink for internal tides, removing energy at a rate of 0.2 m{W}/m 2 on average, corresponding to 8% of the local internal tide generation at the {M}endocino ridge. {T}he temporal variability and modal distribution of this energy sink are also investigated.},
