Abstract: Discussion of the generation of internal waves by tidal flow over bottom topography concludes that isobath convergence has an important effect on wave intensity near the sea surface, and also predicts that all harmonics ...

Abstract: Gerstner's exact solution for free-surface waves can be modified beyond the modifications given by Yih and Pollard, to describe edge waves in a rotating fluid with mean rotation and in the presence of a mean velocity. The ...

Abstract: Gerstner's exact solution for surface waves can be modified to describe waves on an interface between two fluids or air masses, one fluid moving as described by the kinematics of Gerstner waves, the other fluid in wave-trapped ...

Abstract: We report on observations of near-surface Velocity, temperature, stress, buoyancy, and surface wave fluctuations, including successive short-time averages of coherences, phases, autospectra, and probability densities of ...

Abstract: The analysis presented in this paper was inspired by the report that the R/V Polarstern has encountered surface waves of large amplitude hundreds of kilometers inside the ice pack in the Weddell Sea. This paper presents ...

Abstract: Vertical mean wind profiles, hot-film data, and wave height data measured during the passage of an artificial sea slick are compared with similar measurements without a sea slick. The effects of the slick are modifications ...
