Abstract: Baroclinic inertia?gravity (IG) waves form a persistent background of thermocline depth and sea surface height oscillations. They also contribute to the kinetic energy of horizontal motions in the subsurface layer. Measured ...

Abstract: For a well-developed sea at equilibrium with a constant wind, the energy-containing range of the wavenumber spectrum for wind-generated gravity waves is approximated by a generalized power law ?(U2/g)2?k?4+2?Y(k,?), where ...

Abstract: Assuming nonlinear dynamics of baroclinic inertia?gravity (BIG) waves to be dominated by resonant four-wave interactions, recent studies yielded simple analytical expressions for the energy spectra. The only parameter ...
