Interaction of near-inertial waves with an anticyclonic vortex
Hossein A. Kafiabad, Jacques Vanneste, William R. Young
Anticyclonic vortices focus and trap near-inertial waves so that near-inertial energy levels are elevated within the vortex core. Some aspects of this process, including the nonlin…
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…
