Mean flow properties for equatorially trapped internal water wave–current interactions

On three-dimensional Gerstner-like equatorial water waves

“…Nevertheless we remark that, for c 0 < 0, if the magnitude of the current is such that (5.7) holds, then the Stokes drift must be westward. We note that an analysis of flow properties for geophysical internal waves in the absence of a current (as described in §2b) was performed in [19], and in the presence of a depth-invariant current a similar approach to that outlined above was undertaken in [65].…”

Geophysical internal equatorial waves of extreme form

“…Equatorially trapped surface waves have been investigated in [7,13,14] while surface waves in the presence of underlying currents have been treated in [22,25]. Internal geophysical flows are investigated in [10,4,33,32,36,27], while instabilities in such flows are addressed in [12,26,18,24].…”
