Observation of near-inertial waves in the wake of four typhoons in the northern South China Sea [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
Based on the velocity and temperature data recorded by two acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) at a mooring system deployed in the northern South China Sea (SCS), this study investigates the characteristics of near-inertial waves (NIWs) induced by

Observed Near-Inertial Waves in the Northern South China Sea

Remote Sensing, 2021
Characteristics of near-inertial waves (NIWs) induced by the tropical storm Noul in the South China Sea are analyzed based on in situ observations, remote sensing, and analysis data.

Poleward-propagating near-inertial waves enabled by the western boundary current. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
Near-inertial waves (NIWs), which have clockwise (anticlockwise) rotational motion in the Northern (Southern) Hemisphere, exist everywhere in the ocean except at the equator; their frequencies are largely determined by the local inertial frequency, f. It

Energy Transfer Between Mesoscale Eddies and Near‐Inertial Waves From Surface Drifter Observations

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Hourly satellite‐tracked surface drifter data are utilized to study energy transfer from eddies to Near‐Inertial Waves (NIWs). Spatial velocity gradients are computed from two consecutive velocity estimates derived from the same drifter, providing ...

Stalling of near‐inertial waves in a cyclone [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2008
Observations at the edge of the Loop Current after hurricane Katrina show inertial energy amplified at a depth of approximately 600∼700 m. Ray‐analysis using the eddy field obtained from a numerical simulation with data assimilation suggests that the ...

The Generation and Propagation of Wind- and Tide-Induced Near-Inertial Waves in the Ocean

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Near-inertial waves (NIWs), a special form of internal waves with a frequency close to the local Coriolis frequency, are ubiquitous in the ocean. NIWs play a crucial role in ocean mixing, influencing energy transport, climate change, and biogeochemistry.

Near-Inertial Waves Induced by Typhoon Megi (2010) in the South China Sea

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Near-inertial waves (NIWs) are a kind of internal wave, which are usually generated by synoptic wind forcing and play an important role in the oceanic energy budget.

Focusing of internal tides by near‐inertial waves [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2017
AbstractThe refraction of internal waves by lower‐frequency near‐inertial waves has been predicted theoretically, but never observed before. Here, we report observations of semi‐diurnal internal tides generated by the rough topography of the Central Indian Ridge, in the presence of a strong, lower‐frequency near‐inertial wave field generated by a ...

On the concentration of near-inertial waves in anticyclones [PDF]

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2015
An overlooked conservation law for near-inertial waves (NIWs) propagating in a steady background flow provides a new perspective on the concentration of these waves in regions of anticyclonic vorticity. The conservation law implies that this concentration is a direct consequence of the decrease in spatial scales experienced by an initially homogeneous ...

Interpreting Observed Interactions between Near-Inertial Waves and Mesoscale Eddies [PDF]

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2023
The evolution of wind-generated near-inertial waves (NIWs) is known to be influenced by the mesoscale eddy field, yet it remains a challenge to disentangle the effects of this interaction in observations.
