Numerical Studies of Internal Wave Dynamics

Abstract

Our general long-term goal is to obtain a better understanding of turbulent flow of the oceans in terms of the basic laws that govern vortices and waves. In particular, we are trying to understand how internal wave energy propagates through the spectrum of physical scales and also through an inhomogeneous ocean from one region to another.
