Internal Waves on the Black Sea Shelf

Аннотация

Internal waves on the Black Sea shelf are analyzed using in situ data. Inertial waves with different mechanisms of generation are identified. The phase velocity of short-period internal waves is estimated. Internal waves of the second barocline mode, whose mechanism of generation is probably determined by the decay of inertial waves, are observed. The existence of a train of second-mode internal waves is shown.
