Oceanic wave-balanced surface fronts and filaments
A geostrophic, hydrostatic, frontal or filamentary flow adjusts conservatively to accommodate a surface gravity wave field with wave-averaged, Stokes-drift vortex and Coriolis forces in an altered balanced state. In this altered state, the wave-balanced perturbations have an opposite cross-front symmetry to the original geostrophic state; e.g. the along-front flow perturbation is odd-symmetric ...
متن کاملCharacterization of Surface Wave Scattering by Surface Breaking Cracks
Various analytical methods based on the real reciprocity relation are applied to the problem of Rayleigh wave scattering by a surface crack. In one formulation, the reflection coefficient observed at the transducer terminals is expressed in terms of an integral over the crack surface of the product of the perturbed and unperturbed fields. This integral is then converted to a volume integral and...
متن کاملSinglarities of Wave Fronts
In this paper, we discuss the recognition problem for Ak-type singularities on wave fronts. We give computable and simple criteria of these singularities, which will play a fundamental role in generalizing the authors’ previous work “the geometry of fronts” for surfaces. The crucial point to prove our criteria for Ak-singularities is to introduce a suitable parametrization of the singularities ...
متن کاملOptical Wave Fronts
In recent years, the formation of laser beams with specific intensity and phase distributions has attracted considerable attention. The formation of such laser beams has been efficiently achieved by various intracavity mode selection techniques1 or by external conversion of a given laser beam distribution into the desired one. Recently Machavariani et al. presented a new method for efficiently ...
متن کاملEffects of surface wave breaking on the oceanic boundary layer
[1] Existing laboratory studies suggest that surface wave breaking may exert a significant impact on the formation and evolution of oceanic surface boundary layer, which plays an important role in the ocean‐atmosphere coupled system. However, present climate models either neglect the effects of wave breaking or treat them implicitly through some crude parameterization. Here we use a one‐dimensi...
