Diurnal and semidiurnal internal waves on the southern slope of the Yermak Plateau [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
The Yermak Plateau (YP) is located across the Arctic–Atlantic gateway in the northwest of the Svalbard archipelago. In this region, internal waves are believed to cause intense turbulent mixing and hence influence the heat budget in the Arctic Ocean ...

On the interaction of short linear internal waves with internal solitary waves [PDF]

open access: yesNonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2018
We study the interaction of small-scale internal wave packets with a large-scale internal solitary wave using high-resolution direct numerical simulations in two dimensions.

Nonlinear internal waves in the South China Sea: Observation of the conversion of depression internal waves to elevation internal waves [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research, 2003
The conversion of depression nonlinear internal solitons to elevation internal waves has been observed twice at the South China Sea continental shelf break. Shipboard X‐band radar, tow‐yo CTD, ADCP and high frequency acoustic flow visualization of the process are presented. The data focuses on up slope propagation of depression internal solitons from a

Effect of Internal Waves on Moving Small Vessels in the Sea

open access: yesFluids, 2023
Internal waves are responsible for many important processes in the ocean environment (ocean ventilation, energy transfer from large-scale processes to turbulence, etc.).

Internal Wave Interferometry [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2010
Internal waves are a ubiquitous and significant means of momentum and energy transport in the oceans, atmosphere, and astrophysical bodies. Here, we show that internal wave propagation in nonuniform density stratifications, which are prevalent throughout nature, has a direct mathematical analogy with the classical optical problem of a Fabry-Perot ...

Internal Waves and Waves of Sand [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1960
A DESCRIPTION has been given of some large sand waves on La Chapelle Bank which lie parallel to the general direction of the edge of the continental shelf1. They occur within a zone about 10 miles wide, have a mean separation of 2,800 ft. and are up to 40 ft. high.

Nonlinear Internal Waves in Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery [PDF]

open access: yesOceanography, 2013
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has contributed significantly to the study and understanding of oceanic nonlinear internal waves. Although they travel within the ocean's interior, currents associated with internal waves produce variations in ocean surface

Observational Evidence and Open Questions on the Role of Internal Tidal Waves on the Concentration and Transport of Floating Plastic Debris

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Tidal currents flowing over benthic relief (e.g., banks, shelf break) can produce large internal waves. These waves propagate away from their origin and are capable of crossing the continental shelf and seas.

Seismic Detection of Oceanic Internal Gravity Waves From Subaerial Seismometers

open access: yesAGU Advances, 2021
Oceanic internal gravity waves propagate along density stratification within the water column and are ubiquitous. They can propagate thousands of kilometers before breaking in shoaling bathymetry and the ensuing turbulent mixing affects coastal processes

Numerical Simulation of the Force Acting on the Riser by Two Internal Solitary Waves

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
An internal wave is a typical dynamic process. As an internal wave, an internal solitary wave usually occurs between two layers of fluids with different densities.
