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. First, we

Near-inertial internal waves in the Black Sea

2021
<p>The Black Sea is practically tideless basin where inertial variability dominates the energy spectra at the high-frequency band f > 1 day<sup>-1</sup>.  The near-inertial internal waves are easier to infer from the observational data in the absence of the tidal motions.

Observation of Near‐Inertial Waves Induced by Typhoon Lan in the Northwestern Pacific: Characteristics, Energy Fluxes and Impact on Diapycnal Mixing

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans
Based on mooring observations from October 10 to 5 November 2017 at four stations in the Northwestern Pacific, the characteristics of four strong near‐inertial wave (NIW) packets generated by the typhoon Lan were examined.

Near-inertial waves and deep ocean mixing

Physica Scripta, 2013
For the existing pattern of global oceanic circulation to exist, there should be sufficiently strong turbulent mixing in the abyssal ocean, the mechanisms of which are not well understood as yet. The review discusses a plausible mechanism of deep ocean mixing caused by near-inertial waves in the abyssal ocean.

An improved model of near-inertial wave dynamics

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2019
The YBJ equation (Young & Ben Jelloul, J. Marine Res., vol. 55, 1997, pp. 735–766) provides a phase-averaged description of the propagation of near-inertial waves (NIWs) through a geostrophic flow. YBJ is obtained via an asymptotic expansion based on the limit $\mathit{Bu}\rightarrow 0$, where $\mathit{Bu}$ is the Burger number of the NIWs. Here we

The catalytic effect of near-inertial waves on -plane zonal jets

Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2023
Zonal jets and inertia–gravity waves are ubiquitous on planets such as Earth, Jupiter and Saturn. Motivated by the modification of energy flux of balanced flow by inertia–gravity waves, this paper studies the impact of near-inertial waves (NIWs) on zonal jets on a$\beta$-plane. Using a two-dimensional quasi-geostrophic and NIW coupled system on a$\beta$

Deep ocean mixing by near-inertial waves

2010
We consider a novel mechanism of deep ocean mixing caused by breaking of near inertial waves propagating poleward beyond the inertial latitude. On the non-traditional beta plane a noticeable portion of incident inertial waves is not reflected at the inertial latitude but goes through; these waves propagate several hundred kilometers further poleward ...
