Evolution of near-inertial waves
The three-dimensional evolution of near-inertial internal gravity waves is investigated for the case of a laterally unbounded fluid layer of constant finite depth. A general Green’s function formulation is derived which can be used to solve initial value problems or study the effect of forcing. The Green’s function is expanded in vertical normal modes, and is very singular. Convolutions with fi...
متن کاملAn Analytical Study of General Hyper-diffusivity and Barotropic Eddies
An exact solution to the barotropic potential vorticity equation is used to examine the properties of barotropic vortices under arbitrary nth-order hyper-diffusivity. Analytical expressions are derived for an eddy’s lifetime, meridional drift, decay in size, and energy, as functions of the Coriolis parameter, order and magnitude of diffusivity, and the eddy’s size, shape and strength. These exp...
متن کاملStalling of near-inertial waves in a cyclone
[1] Observations at the edge of the Loop Current after hurricane Katrina show inertial energy amplified at a depth of approximately 600 700 m. Ray-analysis using the eddy field obtained from a numerical simulation with data assimilation suggests that the amplification is due to inertial motions stalled in a deep cyclone.

متن کاملInertial waves near corotation in 3D hydrodynamical disks
This paper concerns the interaction between non-axisymmetric inertial waves and their corotation resonances in a hydrodynamical disk. Inertial waves are of interest because they can localise in resonant cavities circumscribed by Lindblad radii, and as a consequence exhibit discrete oscillation frequencies that may be observed. It is often hypothesised that these trapped eigenmodes are affiliate...
متن کاملNonlinear Energy Transfer from Semidiurnal Barotropic Motion to Near-Inertial Baroclinic Motion
A theoretical investigation into the subharmonic parametric instability of internal gravity waves to progressive surface waves in a continuously stratified medium is presented. A perturbation and multiple scales analysis is utilized and is carried out to the third order. Recent parallel efforts for a two-layer model have shown that surface waves can resonate, exponentially in time, two oblique ...
