The presence of a no-slip, impermeable, adiabatic, sloped boundary in an otherwise quiescent, stably stratified, Boussinesq flow generates baroclinic vorticity within diffusive layer. Such conditions are typical the oscillating layers on adiabatic abyssal slopes, lake bathymetry, and coastal bathymetry absence high-wavenumber internal waves, mean flows, far-field turbulence larger scales, reson...
