Novel Internal Wave Paradigm Strongly Nonlinear Scale Separated Interactions

Abstract

My long-term goal is to understand and predict spectral energy density of internal waves in the ocean, and the effects of internal waves on oceanic large scale motions. First-Principle theory of strongly nonlinear wave-wave interactions for internal waves. Present study is based on the extension of the wave turbulence theory to the internal waves in the ocean. In particular, we will go beyond traditional wave turbulence assumptions of weak nonlinearity and resonant interactions. This study is characterized by strong synergy with the work by Dr. Kurt Polzin (WHOI).
