Nonlinear internal waves in the South China Sea: Observation of the conversion of depression internal waves to elevation internal waves
[1] The conversion of depression nonlinear internal solitons to elevation internal waves has been observed twice at the South China Sea continental shelf break. Shipboard X-band radar, tow-yo CTD, ADCP and high frequency acoustic flow visualization of the process are presented. The data focuses on up slope propagation of depression internal solitons from a water depth of 264 m to a water depth ...
متن کاملNonlinear internal waves in the upper atmosphere
This paper considers the large-scale dynamics generated in the upper atmosphere by the destabilization of a linear internal gravity wave and its eventual restabilization through nonlinear processes into a coherent pattern. The assumption of a strongly dissipative medium is relevant to wave propagation in the thermosphere range above 100 km. A parametric instability analysis is carried out invol...
متن کاملInternal Waves in Laboratory Experiments
Recent laboratory methods developed to generate and to analyze internal waves have revealed important insights that sometimes guide and sometimes challenge theoretical predictions and the results of numerical simulations. Here we focus upon observations of internal waves generated by oscillatory or uniform flow over a solid boundary in a continuously stratified fluid. In the laboratory such flo...
متن کاملInternal waves revisited
We describe a new laboratory technique that has been developed to examine the structure and amplitude of internal waves. As well as being relatively inexpensive to set up, the technique is sensitive to small density fluctuations: heat rising from a hand can easily be seen. If the internal wave field is uniform across the span of the tank, then the density gradient field can be measured non-intr...
متن کاملInternal Solitary Waves
The basic theory of internal solitary waves is reviewed, with the main emphasis on applications to the many observations of such waves in shallow coastal seas, fjords, lakes and in the atmospheric boundary layer. Commencing with the equations of motion for an inviscid, incompressible density-stratified fluid, we describe asymptotic reductions to model long-wave equations, including the well-kno...
