Physical Oceanography Internal Waves http://myweb.dal.ca/kelley/SLEIWEX/gallery/ISW_large.jpg Mike Brown Physical Oceanography Fall 2014

Waves form at the interface between fluids of different densities. Tank demo: note the slow speed and large amplitude of the internal wave. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxdiU3LJlZ8

Long wave approximation: (similar to shallow waves). Internal waves typically have slow velocities and large amplitudes. Density Depth Karp-Boss et al. (2009)

Frequency is bounded by f and N (horizontal/vertical group velocity). When the ocean is continuously stratified, the direction of wave propagation is dependent on frequency. Frequency is bounded by f and N (horizontal/vertical group velocity). Group velocity can be in a different direction than phase velocity. Density Depth Knauss (2005)

A dominant source of ocean mixing. Generated primarily by 1) tidal flow over seafloor topography, 2) wind. A dominant source of ocean mixing. Jayne et al. (2004)

Internal waves can be detected at the sea surface. Knauss (2005) http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=44567
