Penetration of wind-generated near-inertial waves into a turbulent ocean

O Asselin, WR Young - Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2020 - journals.ametsoc.org
An idealized storm scenario is examined in which a wind-generated inertial wave interacts
with a turbulent baroclinic quasigeostrophic flow. The flow is initialized by spinning up an …

Kinetic energy exchanges between a two-dimensional front and internal waves

S Kar, R Barkan - Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2023 - journals.ametsoc.org
Fronts and near-inertial waves (NIWs) are energetic motions in the upper ocean that have
been shown to interact and provide a route for kinetic energy (KE) dissipation of balanced …

Downscale transfer of quasigeostrophic energy catalyzed by near-inertial waves

JH Xie - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2020 - cambridge.org
Wind forcing injects energy into mesoscale eddies and near-inertial waves (NIWs) in the
ocean, and the NIWs are believed to solve the puzzle of mesoscale energy budget by …
