Question
(a) From your work in Q.2, obtain the polarization relations for two-dimensional
internal gravity waves (f = 0), i.e. express the corresponding solutions for the
û, ê/ē,p/po fields in terms of ŵ. Assuming that w' takes cosine form, sketch
the relative waveforms of the 3 remaining fields.
(b) In deriving the gravity wave equations, we showed the relative density pertur-
bation
p/po = -0¹/0+ p'/poc/²
Using the results of Q.3a, establish the conditions for which |0'/ē| » \p'/Poc²|.
[Hint: show that the ratio of |0'/ē to p'/poc² is proportional to mH where H
is the isothermal scale height, and consider the relation between k, m and the
angle a.] [HH5 5.8]
