Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Washington, 2015 Internal waves with frequency near the Coriolis frequency, the frequency of oscillations due to the Coriolis acceleration (commonly denoted by the symbol f), are ubiquitous throughout the world’s oceans. However, observational constraints on their globa...
