Vertical Transport of Momentum by the Inertial-Gravity Internal Waves in a Baroclinic Current

When the internal waves break, they are one of the sources of small-scale turbulence. Small-scale turbulence causes the vertical exchange in the ocean. However, internal waves with regard to the Earth rotation in the presence of vertically inhomogeneous two-dimensional current are able to contribute...
