Near-inertial wave critical layers over sloping bathymetry
Lixin Qu, Leif N. Thomas, Robert D. Hetland
This study describes a specific type of critical layer for near-inertial waves (NIWs) that forms when isopycnals run parallel to sloping bathymetry. Upon entering this slantwise cr…

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…
