A propagating Kelvin Wave in an enclosed, idealized Atlantic basin and two-layer system (the coast of Africa is the closest border following around the edge in the corner). A westward (into the perspective) wind stress in the western part of the ocean excites an internal Kelvin Wave propagating eastward, with fluid velocities in the opposite direction.

The Z-value in the graph is the height of the upper density layer.


Results are reproduced from O'Brien 1979, animation done with Matlab.
