  • On the generation of waves during frontogenesis 

    Shakespeare, Callum (University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, 2015-06-30)
    Density fronts are ubiquitous features of the ocean and atmosphere boundary layers. Boundary layers are characterised by strong surface fluxes of heat, water and momentum, and exhibit intense eddy fields that are associated ...

  • Scattering of internal gravity waves 

    Leaman Nye, Abigail (University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical PhysicsSelwyn College, 2011-04-19)
    Internal gravity waves play a fundamental role in the dynamics of stably stratified regions of the atmosphere and ocean. In addition to the radiation of momentum and energy remote from generation sites, internal waves ...
