Internal tides, generated in the density-stratified ocean by the oscillation of the barotropic tide over bottom topography, play a crucial role in the energy balance of the Earth–Moon system [1]. This has led to a recent revival of the classical topic of internal gravity wave generation by oscillating bodies. Wave energy dissipates owing to wave breaking and suband superharmonic excitation, at ...

Calculations are presented of the rate of energy conversion of the barotropic tide into internal gravity waves above topography on the ocean floor. The ocean is treated as infinitely deep, and the topography consists of periodic obstructions; a Green function method is used to construct the scattered wavefield. The calculations extend the previous results of Balmforth et al. for subcritical top...

We present a preliminary model of the three-dimensional seismic structure of the Iran region obtained via simultaneous, joint inversion of body wave travel time and gravity observations. The body wave data set is derived from location calibration efforts and includes a large (>1000 events) subset of GT5-level events. The arrival time data sets for these events include many readings of direct cr...

Introduction: The dynamics of the crust-mantle interface (Moho) underlying lunar impact basins has received considerable study, particularly those with strong positive free-air gravity anomalies associated with the locations of large basins (" mascons ") [e.g. 1-8]. These gravity anomalies, detected via orbital spacecraft observation, indicate that after surface topography and mare loads are ac...
