Tidal inertial waves in the differentially rotating convective envelopes of low-mass stars - I. Free oscillation modes [PDF]
, 2016 Star-planet tidal interactions may result in the excitation of inertial waves in the convective region of stars. In low-mass stars, their dissipation plays a prominent role in the long-term orbital evolution of short-period planets.

Observed Inhibited Downward Penetration of Wind‐Generated Near‐Inertial Energy in the Bering Sea
Geophysical Research LettersNear‐inertial waves (NIWs) are energetic in the Bering Sea, but their downward propagation characteristics remain unknown. Here, we first report the penetration of near‐inertial energy generated by distinct synoptic wind forcing events using yearlong ...

Internal-wave reflection from uniform slopes: higher harmonics and Coriolis effects [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2006 Weakly nonlinear reflection of internal waves from uniform slopes produces higher harmonics and mean fields; the expressions are here derived for constant stratification and with Coriolis effects fully included, i.e. the horizontal component of the

Current shear and turbulence during a near-inertial wave
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Surface currents and turbulent mixing were observed during a near-inertial wave (NIW) using an accousting doppler current profiler (ADCP) and satellite-tracked drifters. Drifter trajectories sampled at three depth levels show characteristics of an Ekman solution superposed with the NIW.

Inverse cascades and resonant triads in rotating and stratified turbulence [PDF]
, 2017 Kraichnan’s seminal ideas on inverse cascades yielded new tools to study common phenomena in geophysical turbulent flows. In the atmosphere and the oceans, rotation and stratification result in a flow that can be approximated as two-dimensional at very ...

Simulating the Long-Range Swell of Internal Waves Generated by Ocean Storms [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 Near-inertial waves (NIWs) are a special class of internal gravity waves with periods set by planetary rotation and latitude (e.g., at 30° latitude, one cycle per 24 hours).

Influence of coastal fronts on near‐inertial internal waves [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2002 A numerical model, with a coastal boundary and near shore surface or bottom front is used to examine the role of the coast and front upon the generation and propagation of wind induced near‐inertial internal waves. When stratification extends to the coast, near‐inertial internal waves are produced at the coastal boundary.

The hurricane-induced decay of mesoscale eddies: an energy source for near-inertial waves
Communications Earth & EnvironmentOceanic mesoscale eddies represent the most energetic component of the ocean circulation; however, their decay routes remain elusive, leaving a key gap in our understanding of the oceanic energy cascade.
