The Generation of Nonlinear Internal Waves [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 Nonlinear internal waves are found in many parts of the world ocean. Their widespread distribution is a result of their origin in the barotropic tide and in the variety of ways they can be generated, including by lee waves, tidal beams, resonance, plumes,

Seabed Dynamic Responses Induced by Nonlinear Internal Waves: New Insights and Future Directions
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Strong nonlinear internal waves generate a significant pressure force on the seafloor and induce a pore-pressure response penetrated in the seabed and are thus an important driver of sediment resuspension and a potential trigger of seabed failure.

Remote Sensing, 2023 We present multi-sensor measurements from satellites, unmanned aerial vehicle, marine radar, thermal profilers, and repeated conductivity–temperature–depth casts made in the Kara Gates strait connecting the Barents and the Kara Seas during spring tide in

Mixing Driven by Breaking Nonlinear Internal Waves [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 AbstractNon‐linear internal waves (NLIW) are important to processes such as heat transfer, nutrient replenishment and sediment transport on continental shelves. Our unique field observations of shoaling NLIW of elevation revealed a variety of different wave shapes, varying from relatively symmetric waves, to waves with either steepened leading‐ or ...

LONG NONLINEAR INTERNAL WAVES [PDF]
Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2006 Over the past four decades, the combination of in situ and remote sensing observations has demonstrated that long nonlinear internal solitary-like waves are ubiquitous features of coastal oceans. The following provides an overview of the properties of steady internal solitary waves and the transient processes of wave generation and evolution ...

Nonlinear aspects of focusing internal waves [PDF]
Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2019 When a torus oscillates horizontally in a linearly stratified fluid, the wave rays form a double cone, one upward and one downward, with two focal points where the wave amplitude has a maximum due to wave focusing. Following a former study on linear aspects of wave focusing (Ermanyuk et al., J. Fluid Mech., vol. 813, 2017, pp.

Nonlinear Internal Waves in Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery [PDF]
Oceanography, 2013 Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has contributed significantly to the study and understanding of oceanic nonlinear internal waves. Although they travel within the ocean's interior, currents associated with internal waves produce variations in ocean surface

High-Frequency Nonlinear Internal Waves Around The Philippines [PDF]
Oceanography, 2011 A study of satellite imagery over the Philippines undertaken as part of the US Office of Naval Research Philippine Straits Experiment (PhilEx) found significant high-frequency nonlinear internal wave activity in the waters around the Philippine ...

Interactions Between Nonlinear Internal Ocean Waves and the Atmosphere
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 The heterogeneity in surface roughness caused by transient, nonlinear internal ocean waves is readily observed in coastal waters. However, the quantifiable impact this heterogeneity has on the marine atmospheric surface layer has not been documented.

Long-term evolution of strongly nonlinear internal solitary waves in a rotating channel [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2009 The evolution of internal solitary waves (ISWs) propagating in a rotating channel is studied numerically in the framework of a fully-nonlinear, nonhydrostatic numerical model.
