Seminar "Problems with Near-Inertial Waves"

Data: 29 luglio 2024 dalle 11:00 alle 12:00
Luogo: Biblioteca Geofisica viale Berti Pichat 8 primo piano

Over 35 years ago the Ocean Storms Experiment (OSE) in the Northeast Pacific observed the generation of near-inertial waves (NIWs) by a storm. Consistent with refraction resulting from the beta-effect, NIWs propagated downwards and towards the equator. Mesoscale vorticity gradients, which exceed beta by a factor of ten, did not have a significant effect on NIW propagation.
