Refraction and straining of wind-generated near-inertial waves by barotropic eddies
Olivier Asselin, Leif N. Thomas, William R. Young +1
We analyze the distortion of wind-generated near-inertial waves by steady and unsteady barotropic quasi-geostrophic eddies, with a focus on the evolution of the horizontal wavevect…

Penetration of wind-generated near-inertial waves into a turbulent ocean
Olivier Asselin, William R. Young
An idealized storm scenario is examined in which a wind-generated inertial wave interacts with a turbulent baroclinic quasi-geostrophic flow. The flow is initialized by spinning up…
