Modified parameterization for near-inertial waves
The near-inertial waves (NIWs) are important for energy cascade in the ocean. They are usually significantly reinforced by strong winds, such as...

The near-inertial waves observed east of the Philippines
Based on mooring observations from Aug. 1, 2016 to Dec. 14, 2017, the characteristics and underlying mechanisms of near-inertial waves (NIWs)...

Near-inertial wave propagation between stratified and homogeneous layers
The propagation of inertio-gravity waves (IGW) into the deep sea is relevant for energy transfer to turbulence where waves break, and thus for...

Impact of Different Wind Representations on Resonant Ocean Near-inertial Motions in the Gulf of Mexico
This study investigates the resonated diurnal impact of the surface wind forcing from several atmospheric wind products, including CCMP...

Estimate of contribution of near-inertial waves to the velocity shear in the Bay of Bengal based on mooring observations from 2013 to 2014
Near-inertial motions contribute most of the velocity shear in the upper ocean. In the Bay of Bengal (BoB), the annual-mean energy flux from the wind...
