Observed Near-Inertial Waves Trapped in a Propagating Anticyclonic Eddy

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2022
Near-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, 2022
The 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.

Observations of near-inertial waves in a front

Deep Sea Research Part B. Oceanographic Literature Review, 1984
Abstract Near-inertial with horizontal scales ∼O(10 km) dominate profiles of velocity finestructure collected in the North Pacific Subtropical Front during January 1980. Considerable spatial variability is observed. Two features in particular contain most of the energy: a 20 cm s−1 amplitude (λz = 100 m) wave on the warm edge of the front propagating ...

Evolution of near-inertial waves

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1995
The 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,

Decay of a Near-Inertial Wave

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.

On the interaction of small-scale oceanic internal waves with near-inertial waves

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1986
Ray theory is used to investigate the interaction of a short high-frequency progressive internal wave of infinitesimal amplitude with a long progressive near-inertial wave of arbitrary amplitude. Weak-interaction theory would, if applicable, predict that the largest changes in short-wave properties occur when the resonance condition c = c g

Downscale transfer of quasigeostrophic energy catalyzed by near-inertial waves

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2020
Wind 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.

Kinetic Energetic Exchange between Near-Inertial Waves and Mesoscale Eddy/Diurnal Tide during Typhoon Rai

Journal of Physical Oceanography
Near-inertial waves (NIWs) in the oceans have multiple generation mechanisms. Typhoons with strong wind forcing are one of the major sources of NIWs; however, the kinetic energy (KE) exchange between NIWs and mesoscale eddies/internal tides during the ...

Near-inertial waves in the ocean: beyond the ‘traditional approximation’

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2005
The dynamics of linear internal waves in the ocean is analysed without adopting the ‘traditional approximation’, i.e. the horizontal component of the Earth's rotation is taken into account. It is shown that non-traditional effects profoundly change the dynamics of near-inertial waves in a vertically confined ocean.
