Inertia-Gravity Waves Emitted from Balanced Flow: Observations, Properties, and Consequences
- Abstract:
-
This paper describes laboratory observations of inertia-gravity waves emitted from balanced fluid flow. In a rotating two-layer annulus experiment, the wavelength of the inertia-gravity waves is very close to the deformation radius. Their amplitude varies linearly with Rossby number in the range 0.05-0.14, at constant Burger number (or rotational Froude number). This linear scaling challenges the notion, suggested by several dynamical theories, that inertia-gravity waves generated by balanced...
