Observations of Polarity Reversal in Shoaling Nonlinear Internal Waves
Observations off the New Jersey coast document the shoaling of three groups of nonlinear internal waves of depression over 35 km across the shelf. Each wave group experienced changing background conditions along its shoreward transit. Despite different wave environments, a clear pattern emerges. Nearly symmetric waves propagating into shallow water develop an asymmetric shape; in the wave refer...
متن کاملShoaling internal solitary waves
[1] The evolution and breaking of internal solitary waves in a shallow upper layer as they approach a constant bottom slope is examined through laboratory experiments. The waves are launched in a two-layer fluid through the standard lock-release method. In most experiments, the wave amplitude is significantly larger than the depth of the shallow upper layer so that they are not well described b...
متن کاملThe Role of Vertical Divergence in Internal Wave/Wave Interactions
Smallscale internal waves are numerically ray-traced through random 3-D Garrett and Munk (GM) internal wave backgrounds. Past ray-tracing investigations have considered only interactions with background vertical shear Vz = (Uz, Vz). Our numerical simulations indicate a non-negligible role for vertical divergence Wz. The spectral transfer of internalwave energy toward high vertical wavenumber kz...
متن کاملCurrent status of gravitational–wave observations
The first generation of gravitational wave interferometric detectors has taken data at, or close to, their design sensitivity. This data has been searched for a broad range of gravitational wave signatures. An overview of gravitational wave search methods and results are presented. Searches for gravitational waves from unmodelled burst sources, compact binary coalescences, continuous wave sourc...
متن کاملShoaling of nonlinear internal waves in Massachusetts Bay
[1] The shoaling of the nonlinear internal tide in Massachusetts Bay is studied with a fully nonlinear and nonhydrostatic model. The results are compared with current and temperature observations obtained during the August 1998 Massachusetts Bay Internal Wave Experiment and observations from a shorter experiment which took place in September 2001. The model shows how the approaching nonlinear u...
