Observations of Polarity Reversal in Shoaling Nonlinear Internal Waves
Observations off the New Jersey coast document the shoaling of three groups of nonlinear internal waves of depression over 35 km across the shelf. Each wave group experienced changing background conditions along its shoreward transit. Despite different wave environments, a clear pattern emerges. Nearly symmetric waves propagating into shallow water develop an asymmetric shape; in the wave refer...
متن کاملShoaling of nonlinear internal waves in Massachusetts Bay
[1] The shoaling of the nonlinear internal tide in Massachusetts Bay is studied with a fully nonlinear and nonhydrostatic model. The results are compared with current and temperature observations obtained during the August 1998 Massachusetts Bay Internal Wave Experiment and observations from a shorter experiment which took place in September 2001. The model shows how the approaching nonlinear u...
متن کاملShoaling internal solitary waves
[1] The evolution and breaking of internal solitary waves in a shallow upper layer as they approach a constant bottom slope is examined through laboratory experiments. The waves are launched in a two-layer fluid through the standard lock-release method. In most experiments, the wave amplitude is significantly larger than the depth of the shallow upper layer so that they are not well described b...
متن کاملNonlinear fate of internal wave attractors.
We present a laboratory study on the instability of internal wave attractors in a trapezoidal fluid domain filled with uniformly stratified fluid. Energy is injected into the system via standing-wave-type motion of a vertical wall. Attractors are found to be destroyed by parametric subharmonic instability via a triadic resonance which is shown to provide a very efficient energy pathway from lon...
متن کاملThe pressure disturbance of a nonlinear internal wave train
Observations from a lander fixed to the seafloor over the continental shelf in 124 m of water provide highly-resolved velocity measurements through nonlinear internal waves of elevation. From these measurements we directly determine, for the first time, the nonhydrostatic pressure disturbance (pnh) in nonlinear internal waves. For near-bottom waves of elevation ranging in amplitude (a) from 12 ...
