The lifecycle of axisymmetric internal solitary waves [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2010 The generation and evolution of solitary waves by intrusive gravity currents in an approximate two-layer fluid with equal upper- and lower-layer depths is examined in a cylindrical geometry by way of theory and numerical simulations. The study is limited

Generation of internal solitary waves by frontally forced intrusions in geophysical flows [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2016 Internal solitary waves are widespread within oceans, lakes and the atmosphere but their origin is uncertain. Here we show a rare natural case of the birth of internal solitary waves arising from the head of a frontally-forced intrusion as observed in ...

Multimodal structure of baroclinic tides in the South China Sea [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2010 The modelling of baroclinic tides generated in the northern South China Sea is studied using a fully-nonlinear non-hydrostatic numerical model. The focus of the modelling efforts was on the vertical structure of internal waves in the vicinity of the ...

Energetics of internal solitary waves in a background sheared current [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2010 The energetics of internal waves in the presence of a background sheared current is explored via numerical simulations for four different situations based on oceanographic conditions: the nonlinear interaction of two internal solitary waves; an internal ...

Generation of secondary internal waves by the interaction of an internal solitary wave with an underwater bank [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2003 The generation of secondary internal waves by the interaction of a large‐amplitude internal solitary wave with the Dreadnought Bank in the Andaman Sea (6°40′N, 95° 47′E) is shown by analyzing a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image acquired by the European Remote Sensing satellite ERS‐2 and by carrying out model calculations.

The role of Internal Solitary Waves on deep-water sedimentary processes: the case of up-slope migrating sediment waves off the Messina Strait. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 Subaqueous, asymmetric sand waves are typically observed in marine channel/canyon systems, tidal environments, and continental slopes exposed to strong currents, where they are formed by current shear resulting from a dominant unidirectional flow ...

Transformation of internal solitary waves at the "deep" and "shallow" shelf: satellite observations and laboratory experiment [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2013 An interaction of internal solitary waves with the shelf edge in the time periods related to the presence of a pronounced seasonal pycnocline in the Red Sea and in the Alboran Sea is analysed via satellite photos and SAR images.
