“…For internal waves in the absence of a mean flow, Stokes drift is in the direction of wave propagation for both passive and depth-keeping organisms near the top and bottom of the water column (Henderson, 2016;Franks et al, 2020; Figures 2a and 3b,e). Mid-water, passive organisms are transported in the opposite direction, while there is no net transport for depth-keeping organisms (Franks et al, 2020; Figures 2a and 3b,e). In all cases, wave-induced horizontal transport will occur along the same axis as internal wave propagation (Lamb, 1997), and while this may be in the crossshore direction for many coastal internal waves (e.g., Lee, 1961;Shroyer et al, 2011;Richards et al, 2013;Colosi et al, 2018;Sinnett et al, 2018), some coastlines favor along-shore displacements (Liévana MacTavish et al, 2016).…”
