Internal waves are generated in the ocean when its stratification is disturbed. Unlike surface waves, which propagate horizontally because they are confined to the air–sea interface, internal ...

Internal waves are generated by fast flow over a steep hill, much like a ball bounces when rolled at speed off a step. Unsurprisingly, atmospheric internal waves are most often found in mountainous ...

While internal waves are known to be generated by tidal currents over ocean-bottom topography8,9,10,11,12,13, they have also been observed frequently in the absence of any apparent tide ...

Internal waves can create pretty cloud shapes in the sky, as well as making life unpleasant for passengers on aeroplanes. And in the oceans they can be a deadly hazard to submarines.

An international research team that included physical oceanographers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego, characterized for the first time the entire life cycle of internal ocean ...

Internal waves are generated when a strong wind passes over a steep hill. Air is lifted up and over the hill against the force of gravity, and then accelerates down the other side as gravity takes ...

SOME of the scariest waves in the world can be as high as London’s BT Tower – but you won’t be able to see them. Kim Martini, a physical oceanographer working at the University of… ...

Internal waves are caused by a difference in the density of the water, like when the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean meet, which causes the layers in the water to rise and sink.
