Features of Formation of the Cyclone Wakes (Fluctuations in Seawater Temperature) in the Area of Cape Svobodny, the Southeastern Part of the Sakhalin Island
Purpose. The purpose of this work is to study the particulars of the formation of cyclone wakes after the regular passage of cyclones over the area of the wave measurements, and to estimate the internal wave parameters along the track according to the field observations. Methods and Results. The ana...
