Abstract | Transformation of internal gravity waves on the oceanic shelf is studied theoretically and numerically within the framework of the linear approximation. It is assumed that internal waves pass over the continental shelf experiencing partial transmission and reflection. The problem is studied for the simplified model of the shelf represented by the sharp bottom ledge. The fluid stratification is assumed to be a two-layer with the density of the upper layer being rho_0, and the density of the lower layer being rho_1. The theoretical approximate formulae are proposed for the transmission and reflection coefficients as the functions of an incoming wave number, density ratio, a depth of the interface between the layers, and depth ratio before and after the ledge edge. Results of direct numerical modelling of linear internal waves transformation are presented as functions of all aforementioned parameters. The modelling was undertaken by means of the numerical code MITgcm. The results obtained are analysed in details and compared against the proposed formulae. |
