Seminar "Problems with Near-Inertial Waves"

Date: 29 July 2024 from 11:00 to 12:00
Event location: Biblioteca Geofisica, piano 1, viale Berti Pichat 8, Bologna

Over 35 years ago the Ocean Storms Experiment (OSE) in the Northeast Pacific observed the generation of near-inertial waves (NIWs) by a storm. Consistent with refraction resulting from the beta-effect, NIWs propagated downwards and towards the equator. Mesoscale vorticity gradients, which exceed beta by a factor of ten, did not have a significant effect on NIW propagation.
