Examining Breaking Internal Waves on a Shelf Slope Using Numerical Simulations [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 The subject of internal waves interacting with bottom topographic features in the ocean has received much attention in the past few decades. This heightened interest is mainly due to a conjecture that breaking internal waves at boundaries can be a ...

Strongly nonlinear, simple internal waves in continuously-stratified, shallow fluids [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2011 Strongly nonlinear internal waves in a layer with arbitrary stratification are considered in the hydrostatic approximation. It is shown that "simple waves" having a variable vertical structure can emerge from a wide class of initial conditions.

Internal Waves on the Washington Continental Shelf [PDF]
Oceanography, 2012 The low-frequency oceanography of the Washington continental shelf has been studied in great detail over the last several decades owing in part to its high productivity but relatively weak upwelling winds compared to other systems.

Numerical study of edge waves using extended Boussinesq equations
Water Science and Engineering, 2017 An edge wave numerical model was developed based on extended Boussinesq equations with the internal wave-generation method. The form of edge waves near a seawall was chosen as the input signal in order to avoid treatment of the moving shoreline on a ...

Internal solitary waves: propagation, deformation and disintegration [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2010 In coastal seas and straits, the interaction of barotropic tidal currents with the continental shelf, seamounts or sills is often observed to generate large-amplitude, horizontally propagating internal solitary waves.

Multi-symplectic structure of fully-nonlinear weakly-dispersive internal gravity waves [PDF]
, 2016 In this short communication we present the multi-symplectic structure for the two-layer Serre-Green-Naghdi equations describing the evolution of large amplitude internal gravity long waves.

The impact of seasonal changes in stratification on the dynamics of internal waves in the Sea of Okhotsk [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2017 The properties and dynamics of internal waves in the ocean crucially depend on the vertical structure of water masses. We present detailed analysis of the impact of spatial and seasonal variations in the density-driven stratification in the Sea of ...

The modified Korteweg - de Vries equation in the theory of large - amplitude internal waves [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 1997 The propagation of large- amplitude internal waves in the ocean is studied here for the case when the nonlinear effects are of cubic order, leading to the modified Korteweg - de Vries equation.
