Abstract: Analytical expressions of internal wave spectra (and coherences) are presented, based on a variant of the Garrett and Munk (1975) model. The change is from a slope of ?2.5 to ?2 in wavenumber spectra, as suggested by recent ...

Abstract: Discrimination between internal waves and finestructure in the ocean is made difficult because of over-lapping scales of each process. We have assumed as a working hypothesis that low frequency/wavenumber variability is ...
