Sentences with phrase «inertial frequency waves»
The greater shear associated with the inertial frequency waves leads to enhanced dissipation in a thick layer above the topography.

The other major source of internal waves is the wind which produces internal waves near the inertial frequency.
Those waves dominate the vertical velocity field in the mixed layer (vortex Rossby waves) and below the first hundred meters (near inertial waves) and they are responsible for the differences in the vertical transport properties under the various forcing fields as quantified by frequency spectra, vertical velocity profiles and vertical dispersion of Lagrangian tracers.
If the wind field contains energy at the inertial frequency or higher (daily and six - hourly cases), then Vortex Rossby waves and near inertial waves are excited as ageostrophic expression of the vigorous eddy field.
