Refraction and Straining of Near-Inertial Waves by Barotropic Eddies

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2020
Fast-moving synoptic-scale atmospheric disturbances produce large-scale near-inertial waves in the ocean mixed layer. In this paper, we analyze the distortion of such waves by smaller-scale barotropic eddies, with a focus on the evolution of the ...

Near-Inertial Waves in Strongly Baroclinic Currents

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2013
Abstract An analysis and physical interpretation of near-inertial waves (NIWs) propagating perpendicular to a steady, two-dimensional, strongly baroclinic, geostrophic current are presented. The analysis is appropriate for geostrophic currents with order-one Richardson numbers such as those associated with fronts experiencing strong ...

Near-Inertial Waves and Turbulence Driven by the Growth of Swell

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2020
Between 5% and 25% of the total momentum transferred between the atmosphere and ocean is transmitted via the growth of long surface gravity waves called “swell.” In this paper, we use large-eddy simulations to show that swell-transmitted momentum excites

Penetration of Wind-Generated Near-Inertial Waves into a Turbulent Ocean [PDF]

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2019
An idealized storm scenario is examined in which a wind-generated inertial wave interacts with a turbulent baroclinic quasigeostrophic flow. The flow is initialized by spinning up an Eady model with a stratification profile based on observations.

Inertial waves in rapidly rotating flows: a dynamical systems perspective [PDF]

, 2016
An overview of recent developments in a wide variety of enclosed rapidly rotating flows is presented. Highlighted is the interplay between inertial waves, which have been predicted from linear inviscid considerations, and the viscous boundary layer ...

Inertial gravity waves observed by a Doppler wind LiDAR and their possible sources

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2020
In this paper, we use wind observations by a Doppler wind LiDAR near Delingha (37.4°N, 97.4°E), Qinghai, Northwestern China to study the characteristics of inertial gravity waves in the stratosphere.

Regimes of near-inertial wave dynamics

Journal of Fluid Mechanics
When atmospheric storms pass over the ocean, they resonantly force near-inertial waves (NIWs), internal waves with a frequency close to the local Coriolis frequency $f$ . It has long been recognised that the evolution of NIWs is modulated by the ocean's mesoscale eddy field.

Variability of Internal Wave Strain Over the Western Boundary Region in the North Atlantic

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Based on the CTD profiles and mooring measurements of the Line W program in the North Atlantic about 35°N/70°W, we investigated the spatial variability of internal wave-induced strain variance along the Line W section and the associated reasons.

Why Near-Inertial Waves Are Less Affected by Vorticity in the Northeast Pacific Than in the North Atlantic

Oceanography
Over 35 years ago, the influential Ocean Storms Experiment (OSE) in the Northeast Pacific documented, for the first time, the generation of near-inertial waves (NIWs) by a storm and the subsequent radiation of the waves away from the forcing.
