Zusammenfassung
There are numerous situations in which fluid flows over an obstacle, say a mountain in the atmosphere, a sea mount, or a ridge in the ocean, and we would imagine that internal gravity waves, if the fluid is stratified, would be generated. Such situations are of interest in their own right, but additionally they force us to carefully examine the radiative properties of the waves, which must be understood, sometimes, to actually solve the problem.
