Analysis of Internal Solitary Waves in the Gulf of Oman and Sources Responsible for Their Generation

Water, 2023
A combination of multiple data sources has been used to study the characteristics of internal solitary waves (ISWs) in the Gulf of Oman (GoO). Water column stratification in the Gulf has been examined using field observations and World Ocean Atlas 2018 ...

Internal Solitary Waves within the Cold Tongue of the Equatorial Pacific generated by buoyant gravity currents

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2023
The equatorial cold tongue in the Pacific Ocean has been intensely studied during the last decades as it plays an important role in air-sea interactions and climate issues. Recently, Warner et al.

Diel Variation of Phytoplankton Communities in the Northern South China Sea under the Effect of Internal Solitary Waves and Its Response to Environmental Factors

Water, 2023
Internal solitary waves (ISWs) are a common marine internal wave phenomenon in the northern South China Sea that cause significant changes in environmental factors and affect phytoplankton communities.

Interaction of mode-one internal solitary waves of opposite polarity in double-pycnocline stratifications

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023
Numerical simulations of the interaction of internal solitary waves (ISWs) of opposite polarity are conducted by solving the incompressible Euler equations under the Boussinesq approximation. A double-pycnocline stratification is used.

Large mode-2 internal solitary waves in three-layer flows [PDF]

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2022
In this paper, we investigate mode-2 solitary waves in a three-layer stratified flow model. Localised travelling wave solutions to both the fully nonlinear problem (Euler equations), and the three-layer Miyata–Choi–Camassa equations are found numerically

Mechanism analysis of internal solitary waves breaking encountering submarine ridges based on laboratory experiments

AIP Advances, 2023
Internal solitary waves are commonly present in global oceans, and these waves encounter submarine ridges during their propagation, resulting in breaking.

Enhanced diapycnal mixing with polarity-reversing internal solitary waves revealed by seismic reflection data [PDF]

Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2021
Shoaling internal solitary waves near the Dongsha Atoll in the South China Sea dissipate their energy and enhance diapycnal mixing, which have an important impact on the oceanic environment and primary productivity.

Effects of Surface Wave Breaking Caused by Internal Solitary Waves in SAR Altimeter: Sentinel-3 Copernicus Products and Advanced New Products

Remote Sensing, 2022
We address surface wave breaking caused by oceanic Internal Solitary Waves (ISWs) and how ISWs are manifested in the SAR altimeter onboard Sentinel-3A and -3B satellites by means of their effects in Significant Wave Height (SWH). Two different regions of

Triangular temporal-distribution law for disintegrating internal solitons over a step

Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2018
: Internal solitary waves have been found to disintegrate into a series of solitons over variable bathymetry, with important applications for offshore engineering.

On the determination of characteristics of the interior ocean dynamics from radar signatures of oceanic internal solitary waves [PDF]

, 1998
In this paper we discuss two different methods of inferring characteristics of the interior ocean dynamics from radar signatures of internal solitary waves visible on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images.
