Abstract

A problem of wave dynamics of internal gravity waves in a variable-depth stratified medium is considered. By using a modified method of geometrical optics (vertical modes—horizontal rays), wave modes of higher approximations of asymptotic solutions are constructed. It is demonstrated that the main contributions to the solution in real stratified media are made by the first terms of the corresponding asymptotic presentations.
