Response of internal solitary waves to tropical storm Washi in the northwestern South China Sea [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2011
Based on in-situ time series data from an array of temperature sensors and an acoustic Doppler current profiler on the continental shelf of the northwestern South China Sea, a sequence of internal solitary waves (ISWs) were observed during the passage

Downward Propagation and Trapping of Near-Inertial Waves by a Westward-moving Anticyclonic Eddy in the Subtropical Northwestern Pacific Ocean

open access: yesJournal of Physical Oceanography, 2023
Mesoscale eddies can alter the propagation of wind-generated near-inertial waves (NIWs). Different from previous studies, the subsurface mooring observed NIWs are generated outside an anticyclonic eddy (ACE) and then interact with the arriving ACE.

A study on some basic features of inertial oscillations and near-inertial internal waves [PDF]

open access: yesOcean Science, 2017
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

Near-inertial wave critical layers over sloping bathymetry [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physical Oceanography, 2021
AbstractThis study describes a specific type of critical layer for near-inertial waves (NIWs) that forms when isopycnals run parallel to sloping bathymetry. Upon entering this slantwise critical layer, the group velocity of the waves decreases to zero and the NIWs become trapped and amplified, which can enhance mixing.

Observed Equatorward Propagation and Chimney Effect of Near‐Inertial Waves in the Midlatitude Ocean

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2022
The propagation characteristics of near‐inertial waves (NIWs) and how mesoscale and submesoscale processes affect the waves' vertical penetration are investigated using observations from a mooring array located in the northeast Atlantic.

Wind power input to ocean near‐inertial waves diagnosed from a 5‐km global coupled atmosphere‐ocean general circulation model

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2023
Using the 5 km coupled general circulation model ICON, the surface internal wave energy source, crucial for the oceanic circulation, is quantified as the wind-induced wave energy flux that radiates from the mixed layer bottom (MLB) into the ocean ...

Spontaneous generation of inertial waves from boundary turbulence in a librating sphere [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In this work, we report the excitation of inertial waves in a librating sphere even for libration frequencies where these waves are not directly forced.

Observation of Near-Inertial Waves Induced by Typhoon Mitag (2019) on the Southwestern East China Sea Continental Slope

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Based on horizontal velocity data recorded by a moored acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) deployed on the southwestern continental slope of the East China Sea (ECS), this study investigates the characteristics of near-inertial waves (NIWs) induced ...
