Abstract
The previously proposed method [1] of submerging aimed at determining internal wave dispersion characteristics is generalized to consider the case of a background horizontal flow with a vertical velocity shear. The results of calculating, dispersion curves of discrete spectrum modes for the profiles of the Brunt-Väisälä frequency and the mean current velocity are given; they agree well with the results of studies carried out in ref. [5].
