Internal Waves Over the New England Shelf
Abstract
This study focused on investigating several aspects of the internal wave field over the New England Shelf, considered to be representative of a general class of broad, gently-sloping shelves. Specifically, we worked to characterize the horizontal and vertical structure of the internal wave field over the shelf and to examine how coastal geometry, stratification and background flow act to modify the near-inertial response to impulsive wind forcing.
