Abstract

Resonance excitation of internal waves by running waves of the atmospheric pressure and the tangential wind stress in a continuously stratified rotating ocean is studied in a linear statement. A comparative analysis of the rates of the increase in amplitude of resonance-excited waves for these external disturbances is carried out numerically for the case of the average distribution of the Väisälä-Brunt frequency in the Caribbean Sea.
