Observed Near-Inertial Waves in the Northern South China Sea [PDF]
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.

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

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

Near-inertial wave scattering by random flows [PDF]
The impact of a turbulent flow on wind-driven oceanic near-inertial waves is examined using a linearised shallow-water model of the mixed layer. Modelling the flow as a homogeneous and stationary random process with spatial scales comparable to the ...

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

Seasonal Variability of Near-Inertial Internal Waves in the Deep Central Part of the Black Sea
This observational study is concerned with the seasonal variability of near-inertial internal waves (NIWs) in the central part of the Black Sea. Rotary spectral analysis of the nearly year-long time series of the sea current velocity measurements at 100 ...

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

A study on some basic features of inertial oscillations and near-inertial internal waves [PDF]
Some basic features of inertial oscillations and near-inertial internal waves are investigated by simulating a two-dimensional (x − z) rectangular basin (300 km × 60 m) driven by a wind pulse. For the homogeneous case, near-inertial motions are pure
