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.

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.

Shear induced breaking of large internal solitary waves [PDF]
, 2009 The stability properties of 24 experimentally generated internal solitary waves (ISWs) of extremely large amplitude, all with minimum Richardson number less than 1/4, are investigated.

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 ...

Exact internal waves of a Boussinesq system
, 2010 We consider a Boussinesq system describing one-dimensional internal waves which develop at the boundary between two immiscible fluids, and we restrict to its traveling waves.

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.

Experimental study of long nonlinear internal waves in rotating fluid [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1994 Experiments were performed on the rotating platform 14 m in diameter equipped with a simple internal wave generator. Internal waves were generated for a wide range of Coriolis parameters.
