The lifecycle of surface-generated near-inertial waves
Ocean Mixing, 2022Our current knowledge of the lifecycle of the most energetic surface-generated internal waves in the ocean, wind-driven near-inertial waves (NIWs), is reviewed. The review covers the three stages in a NIW's lifecycle: formation as near-inertial motions in the mixed layer by the winds, propagation into the ocean interior as a NIW, and demise through ...

Near-inertial waves and geostrophic turbulence
Physical Review Fluids, 2020The two-mode quasigeostrophic model and associated turbulence phenomenology is a holy grail of geophysical fluid dynamics. An illustration of how wind-generated near-inertial waves in the ocean modify the quasigeostrophic turbulence phenomenology is presented.

Observed Near-Inertial Waves Trapped in a Propagating Anticyclonic Eddy
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2022Near-inertial waves (NIWs) trapped in a propagating anticyclonic eddy (AE) are investigated along the eddy path at three areas spanning 660 km by using two mooring arrays and a cruise transect.

Observation of Near-inertial Waves in the Bottom Boundary Layer of an Abyssal Seamount
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2022The bottom boundary layer (BBL) contributes significantly to the global energy dissipation of low-frequency flows in the abyssal ocean, but how this dissipation occurs remains poorly understood.

Evolution of near-inertial waves
Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1995The three-dimensional evolution of near-inertial internal gravity waves is investigated for the case of a laterally unbounded fluid layer of constant finite depth. A general Green's function formulation is derived which can be used to solve initial value problems or study the effect of forcing. The Green's function is expanded in vertical normal modes,

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1994
Abstract The decay of a downward propagating near-inertial wave was observed over four days. During this short period, the energy of the near-inertial wave decreased by 70%. The shear layers produced by the wave were regions of enhanced turbulent dissipation rates.

Downscale transfer of quasigeostrophic energy catalyzed by near-inertial waves
Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2020Wind forcing injects energy into mesoscale eddies and near-inertial waves (NIWs) in the ocean, and the NIWs are believed to solve the puzzle of mesoscale energy budget by absorbing energy from mesoscale eddies.

Near-Inertial Internal Gravity Waves in the Ocean
Annual Review of Marine Science, 2016We review the physics of near-inertial waves (NIWs) in the ocean and the observations, theory, and models that have provided our present knowledge. NIWs appear nearly everywhere in the ocean as a spectral peak at and just above the local inertial period f, and the longest vertical wavelengths can propagate at least hundreds of kilometers toward the ...
