Stalling of near‐inertial waves in a cyclone

Observations at the edge of the Loop Current after hurricane Katrina show inertial energy amplified at a depth of approximately 600∼700 m. Ray‐analysis using the eddy field obtained from a numerical simulation with data assimilation suggests that the amplification is due to inertial motions stalled...

description Observations at the edge of the Loop Current after hurricane Katrina show inertial energy amplified at a depth of approximately 600∼700 m. Ray‐analysis using the eddy field obtained from a numerical simulation with data assimilation suggests that the amplification is due to inertial motions stalled in a deep cyclone.
