Spectral Flux Decomposition in a Wind‐Driven Channel Flow With Near‐Inertial Waves

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
In recent years it has become evident that the spatiotemporal distribution of oceanic kinetic energy (KE) is strongly influenced by the interactions between oceanic mesoscale eddies, submesoscale currents, and near‐inertial waves (NIWs).

Three‐Dimensional Characteristics and Dominant Forcing Mechanisms of Third Waves Generated by Nonlinear Near‐Inertial Wave and Internal Tide Interactions

Geophysical Research Letters
Nonlinear interactions between internal tides (ITs) and near‐inertial waves (NIWs) generate the “third waves” at frequencies corresponding to the sum of IT and NIW frequencies. The third waves drive oceanic energy cascade, yet under what conditions these

Refraction of near-inertial waves by submesoscale vorticity filaments

Journal of Fluid Mechanics
The interaction of near-inertial waves (NIWs) with submesoscale vorticity filaments is explored using theory and simulations. We study three idealised set-ups representative of submesoscale flows allowing for $O(1)$ or greater Rossby numbers.

Contributions of Tropical Cyclones and Internal Tides To Deep Near‐Inertial Kinetic Energy Under Eddy Modulation

Geophysical Research Letters
Near‐inertial waves (NIWs) are essential energy sources for deep diapycnal mixing. However, the mechanisms for generating deep and abyssal NIWs are largely unknown.

Near-Inertial Pollard Waves Modeling the Arctic Halocline

We present an explicit and exact solution to the governing equations describing the vertical structure of the Arctic Ocean region centered around the North Pole. The solution describes a stratified water column with three constant-density regions: a motionless bottom layer, a middle layer - the halocline - described by nonhydrostatic, near-inertial ...

How Atmospheric Forcing Frequency, Horizontal and Vertical Grid Resolutions Impact Mesoscale Eddy Evolution in a Numerical Model

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems
Seasonal evolution of both surface signature and subsurface structure of a Mediterranean mesoscale anticyclones is assessed using the Coastal and Regional Ocean Community high‐resolution numerical model with realistic background stratification and fluxes.

Global Near-Inertial Wave Spectra Shaped by Mesoscale Eddies

Wind-forced near-inertial waves (NIWs) propagate through a sea of mesoscale eddies, which can fundamentally alter their evolution. The nature of this NIW--mesoscale interaction depends on how dispersive the waves are. For weakly dispersive waves, ray tracing suggests that the NIW frequency should be shifted by $\frac{1}{2}ζ$, where $ζ$ is the mesoscale
