Near-Inertial Internal Gravity Waves in the Ocean

Annual Review of Marine Science, 2016
We 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 ...

The lifecycle of surface-generated near-inertial waves

Ocean Mixing, 2022
Our 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, 2020
The 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.

Near-inertial waves on the “nontraditional” β plane

Journal of Geophysical Research, 2005
Propagation of linear near‐inertial waves on the β plane is considered, taking into account the horizontal component of the Earth's rotation, . (Terms, effects etc., due to this component will be referred to as “nontraditional,” for brevity.) It is shown that the combined effect of β and changes the dynamics in a fundamental way.

Coastally Generated Near-Inertial Waves

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2019
AbstractWind directly forces inertial oscillations in the mixed layer. Where these currents hit the coast, the no-normal-flow boundary condition leads to vertical velocities that pump both the base of the mixed layer and the free surface, producing offshore-propagating near-inertial internal and surface waves, respectively.

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.
