Internal waves are gravity waves that oscillate within a fluid medium, rather than on its surface. To exist, the fluid must be stratified: the density...

A wave cloud is a cloud form created by atmospheric internal waves. The atmospheric internal waves that form wave clouds are created as stable air flows...

Internal wave breaking is a process during which internal gravity waves attain a large amplitude compared to their length scale, become nonlinearly unstable...

In physics, total internal reflection (TIR) is the phenomenon in which waves arriving at the interface (boundary) from one medium to another (e.g., from...

Rogue waves (also known as freak waves or killer waves) are huge and unpredictable surface waves that can be extremely dangerous to ships and isolated...

different densities) are called internal waves. Wind-generated waves on the water surface are examples of gravity waves, as are tsunamis, ocean tides,...

interior. So internal tides are internal waves at a tidal frequency. The other major source of internal waves is the wind which produces internal waves near the...

oscillates and creates internal waves. While internal waves generally have a lower frequency than surface waves, they often form as a single wave that breaks into...

field, or evanescent wave, is an oscillating electric and/or magnetic field that does not propagate as an electromagnetic wave but whose energy is spatially...

can be ascribed to breaking of internal waves (Lee waves). When a stratified fluid reaches an internal obstacle, a wave is created that can eventually...

geophysics; the refraction or reflection of seismic waves is used for research into Earth's internal structure. Scientists sometimes generate and measure...

without much mixing. The phenomenon is a result of energy producing internal waves that have an effect on the vessel. The effect can also be found at density...

In fluid dynamics, a wind wave, or wind-generated water wave, is a surface wave that occurs on the free surface of bodies of water as a result of the...
