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…
Wave-averaged balance: a simple example
Hossein A. Kafiabad, Jacques Vanneste, William R. Young
In the presence of inertia-gravity waves, the geostrophic and hydrostatic balance that characterises the slow dynamics of rapidly rotating, strongly stratified flows holds in a tim…
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…
Beta-plane turbulence above monoscale topography
Navid C. Constantinou, William R. Young
Using a one-layer QG model, we study the effect of random monoscale topography on forced beta-plane turbulence. The forcing is a uniform steady wind stress that produces both a uni…
On Gakerkin approximations for the surface-active quasigeostrophic equations
Cesar B. Rocha, William R. Young, Ian Grooms
We study the representation of solutions of the three-dimensional quasigeostrophic (QG) equations using Galerkin series with standard vertical modes, with particular attention to t…
