For several decades, jets and fronts have been known from observations to be significant sources of internal gravity waves in the atmosphere. Motivations to investigate these waves …

The ocean circulation is a cause and consequence of fluid scale interactions ranging from millimeters to more than 10,000 km. Although the wind field produces a large energy input to …
We review the physics of near-inertial waves (NIWs) in the ocean and the observations, theory, and models that have provided our present knowledge. NIWs appear nearly …
Satellite observations of the last two decades have led to a major breakthrough emphasizing the existence of a strongly energetic mesoscale turbulent eddy field in all the oceans. This …

Group speed of mode-1 M 2 internal tide over the entire world. Representative rays emanating from known generation sites are also plotted in black. Circles indicate the daily …
Oceanic mesoscale structures such as eddies and fronts can alter the propagation, breaking and subsequent turbulent mixing of wind-generated internal waves. However, it has been …

The “near-inertial” part of the internal wave continuum is dominant and also different from the rest of the spectrum. A simple possible reason for the difference is that waves generated …
