Internal Solitary Wave - Experiment 4

Experiment 4: "Internal Tide Without Internal Wave Beam, Summer Bay of Biscay":

This experiment provides a final check that both an IWB and an internal tide are required to create ISWs. In this experiment (which shares the same stratification as Expt. 1 and an internal tide of the kind used in Expt. 3, but no IWB), once again no ISW is generated - MITgcm used to study Internal Solitary Waves - Animation credit: N Grisouard, LEGI, UJF/CNRS/G-INP, BP 53, 38041 Grenoble Cedex 9, France
