The Propagation of Gravity–Inertia Waves and Lee Waves under a Critical Level
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As is well known, the linear dynamic equations for gravity-inertia waves are characterized by three singular levels, one being the critical level at which flow speed and wave speed are equal, and the other two at which the ...
The Propagation of a Gravity–Inertia Wave in a Positively Sheared Flow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: When a gravity?inertia wave in two dimensions is generated by flow over a stationary boundary above the critical level, its vertical propagation will depend on whether it encounters the singular level at which kU/f is equal ...
Unsteadiness and Periodicity in Gravity Waves and Lee Waves Forced by a Fixed Rigid Boundary
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is shown that a vertically sheared, inviscid stratified flow over a sinusoid, starting from rest, results in one of two responses, both nonsteady: 1) resonance modes, in which the phase lines are vertical, and wave ...
