Abstract

The phase structures of internal gravity waves in the ocean are investigated. Wave fields are generated by a moving source of disturbances. The main dispersion dependences determining the properties of the generated far wave fields are studied numerically. The properties of internal waves inferred from the numerical simulations of the amplitude-phase structures of the far fields of internal gravity waves generated by moving sources of disturbances are presented. The simulations were carried out for the example of the distributions of the buoyancy frequency characteristic of the North Atlantic.
