Large-scale propagating disturbances: approximation by vertical normal modes

Propagating features and waves occur everywhere in the ocean. This paper derives a concise description of how such small-amplitude, large-scale oceanic internal disturbances propagate dynamically against a slowly varying background mean flow and stratification, computed using oceanic data. For a fla...
