Conclusion: Modulational instability is possible for Long Sea Internal Waves on “shallow” water. Modulational instability is possible for Long Sea Internal Waves on “shallow” water. Modulational instability may take place when the background stratification leads to the positive cubic nonlinear term. Modulational instability may take place when the background stratification leads to the positive cubic nonlinear term.
