Internal wave dispersions in density-stratified deep oceans with a thermocline
As to two typical Vaisala frequency profiles in deep oceans, one in the Arctic Ocean and one in the Atlantic, the approximate analytical method of Hyun (1976) is used to calculate internal wave dispersion relations. The method is shown to have good agreement with the matrix numerical method. By maki...

| Summary: | As to two typical Vaisala frequency profiles in deep oceans, one in the Arctic Ocean and one in the Atlantic, the approximate analytical method of Hyun (1976) is used to calculate internal wave dispersion relations. The method is shown to have good agreement with the matrix numerical method. By making calculations for an exemplary Vaisala frequency profile with a thermocline, an assessment is made of the inaccuracies in the dispersion curves obtained by the ordinary WKB method which does not take into account the turning point singularities. �� 1977 Oceanographical Society of Japan. 기계공학전공 |
