Abstract: The propagation of small-amplitude internal gravity waves through a finite layer of varying Brunt-Väisälä frequency is analyzed. A two-scale analysis is used and it is shown that the amount of reflection a wave undergoes ...

Abstract: Whether diurnal tidal currents at midlatitudes (25?45°) can have an appreciable effect in determining the thickness of the turbulent bottom Ekman layer is considered. Simple arguments together with predictions of a numerical ...
