A generalised-Lagrangian-mean model of the interactions between near-inertial waves and mean flow [PDF]

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2014
Wind forcing of the ocean generates a spectrum of inertia–gravity waves that is sharply peaked near the local inertial (or Coriolis) frequency. The corresponding near-inertial waves (NIWs) are highly energetic and play a significant role in the slow ...

A comparison between vertical motions measured by ADCP and inferred from temperature data [PDF]

Ocean Science, 2008
Combined vertical current (w) and thermistor string data demonstrate that high-, near-buoyancy frequency internal "wave" trains along a pycnocline in a flat-bottom shelf sea consist for 2 periods of a dominant mode-1 non-linear part, while ...

Effects of Horizontal Resolution on Long‐Range Equatorward Radiation of Near‐Inertial Internal Waves in Ocean General Circulation Models

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
Wind‐generated near‐inertial internal waves (NIWs) are characterized by dominant long‐range equatorward radiation due to the gradient of the planetary vorticity, known as the β‐refraction effect.

Propagation characteristics of near-inertial waves along the continental shelf in the wake of the 2008 Typhoon Hagupit in the northern South China Sea

Bulletin of marine science, 2018
A mooring and a real-time buoy allowed observation of oceanic and atmospheric variation in the wake of the 2008 Typhoon Hagupit in the South China Sea (SCS).

Bulk Energization of Electrons in Solar Flares by Alfv\'en Waves

, 2013
Bulk energization of electrons to $10\,-\,20\,$keV in solar flares is attributed to dissipation of Alfv\'en waves that transport energy and potential downward to an acceleration region near the chromosphere.

Need for a subtropical wind profiling system [PDF]

, 1986
The purpose is to point out the need for, and the benefit that can be derived from, a national wind profiling facility located in the subtropics. At present no such facility exists.

Coastal-Trapped Waves and Tides at Near-Inertial Frequencies

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2001
The nature of the transition in coastal-trapped wave behavior from trapped, subinertial modes to imperfectly trapped, superinertial waves (not modes), is investigated. When formulated purely in terms of pressure, the coastal-trapped wave eigenvalue problem admits a spurious inertial mode that distorts numerical calculations at nearby frequencies.

Variability in Diurnal Internal Tides and Near-Inertial Waves in the Southern South China Sea Based on Mooring Observations

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Temporal variations in diurnal internal tides (ITs) and near-inertial waves (NIWs) in the southern South China Sea (SCS) are characterized, based on two 13-month moored current observations.

Generation of shock waves in dense plasmas by high-intensity laser pulses

Nukleonika, 2015
When intense short-pulse laser beams (I > 1022 W/m2, τ < 20 ps) interact with high density plasmas, strong shock waves are launched. These shock waves may be generated by a range of processes, and the relative significance of the various mechanisms ...

Characteristics and energy rays of equatorially trapped, zonally symmetric internal waves

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2006
Characteristic curves of partial differential equations (PDEs) in general differ from short wave energy rays. We give conditions for linear, two dimensional second order PDEs that guarantee an exact correspondence between characteristics and energy rays.
