Journal ArticleDOI
Geophysical and astrophysical fluid dynamics beyond the traditional approximation
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the effects of abandoning the traditional approximation (TA) on geophysical fluid dynamics is presented, based on evidence from numerical and theoretical studies and laboratory and field experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observation of an internal wave attractor in a confined, stably stratified fluid
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that internal-wave attractors, rather than eigenmodes, determine the response of a confined, stably stratified fluid over a broad range of vibration frequencies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geometric focusing of internal waves
Leo R. M. Maas,F.P.A. Lam +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method to construct a web of uniquely related characteristics of a basin and the prescription of one (independent) value of a field variable, related to the stream function, on each of these webs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observations on the vertical structure of tidal and inertial currents in the central North Sea
Leo R. M. Maas,J.J.M. Van Haren +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors decomposed the inverse proportionality of the eddy viscosity to the vertical density gradient in the central North Sea during a number of monthly periods in 1980, 1981 and 1982.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strong inertial currents and marginal internal wave stability in the central North Sea
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that increased heating in summer is accompanied by enhanced de-stabilizing vertical current differences (shear), surprisingly to such extent that the equilibrium state is marginally stable.
