Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interaction of surface gravity waves with non-dispersive internal waves is studied by solving the equations of motion in a coordinate system moving with the time independent surface current system induced by the internal wave. A range of surface wavelengths is found which is reflected by the current system (as seen in this coordinate system). In the ocean-fixed frame these waves are identified as waves which interact strongly with the internal waves and exchange energy with it. The effect on the surface wave pattern and the relation to surface slicks are discussed. (Author).

This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph creates a systematic interpretation of the theoretical and the most actual experimental aspects of the internal wave dynamics in the ocean. Firstly, it draws attention to the important physical effects from an oceanographical point of view which are presented in mathematical descriptions. Secondly, the book serves as an introduction to the range of modern ideas and the methods in the study of wave processes in dispersive media. The book is meant for specialists in physics of the ocean, oceanography, geophysics, hydroacoustics.

This book was released on 1978 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ocean Remote Sensing Laboratory (ORSL) has been studying internal waves using remote sensing techniques employing three different types of observational platforms: ships, aircraft, and spacecraft. Internal waves and their manifestations have been observed using the following techniques: Satellite multispectral scanning imagers (principally in the visible and near-infrared); Radar--both coherent imaging radar and standard meteorological radar (all from aircraft); Hand-held visible photography (from spacecraft, aircraft, and ship; Ship-towed thermistors; and STD and XBT casts.

Download or read book Internal Gravity Waves in the Shallow Seas written by Stanisław R. Massel and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a comprehensive study of the internal ocean waves, which play a very important role in ocean physics providing mechanisms for ocean water mixing and circulation, as well as the transportation of gases, nutrients, and a very large number of marine organisms in the ocean body. In contrast to surface waves, the literature on internal waves is not so numerous, mainly due to the difficulties in experimental data collection and in the mathematical description of internal wave propagation. In this book, the basic mathematical principles, a physical description of the observed phenomena, and practical theoretical methods of determination of wave parameters as well as the original method of observation using moving sensors are presented. Special attention is paid to internal wave propagation over changing bottom topographies in shallow seas such as the Baltic Sea. The book is supplemented with an extended list of relevant and extended bibliographies, a subject index, and an author index.

Download or read book Nonlinear Interactions Among Standing Surface and Internal Gravity Waves written by and published by . This book was released on 1906 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A laboratory study has been undertaken to measure the momentum transfer from surface to internal gravity waves in a nonlinear, resonant interaction. The interacting waves form triads for which σ1s - σ2s " σI = 0 and κ1s - κ2s " κI = 0; σj and κj being the frequency and wavenumber of the jth wave. In particular, the experiment is designed to model a generating mechanism for high frequency, oceanic internal waves. Unlike previously published results involving single triplets of interacting waves, all waves here considered are standing waves. The growth to steady state of a resonant internal wave is observed while two deep water surface eigen modes are simultaneously forced by a paddle. Results are compared to theoretical predictions which assume, ab initio, all waves to be standing. Inclusion of viscous side wall dissipation and slight detuning permit predictions of steady state amplitudes and phases as well as initial growth rates. Good agreement is found between predieted and measured amplitudes and phases. The experiments also suggest that the internal wave in a resonant triad can act as a catalyst, permitting appreciable energy transfer among surface waves.

This book was released on 1972 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A laboratory study was undertaken to measure the momentum transfer from surface to internal gravity waves in a nonlinear, resonant interaction. The interacting waves form triads for which (Sigma sub is)- (Sigma sub 2S) plus or minus (Sigma subI) = 0 and (Kappa sub is)-(Kappa sub 2S) plus or minus (Kappa sub I) = 0; Sigma sub j and Kappa sub j being the frequency and wavenumber of the jth wave. In particular, the experiment is designed to model a generating mechanism for high frequency, oceanic internal waves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stably stratified, two-layer fluid system with a free surface admits resonant triads, including ones involving one surface and two internal waves. Resonant triads that couple surface and internal gravity waves are thought to play an important role in transferring energy from wind-generated surface waves to internal waves. Ball used a geometric construction to show that the linearized dispersion relation for a two-layer liquid system with a free upper surface and no stream velocity admits resonant triads.
