Abstract
This chapter discusses equations describing oceanic internal waves. These equations are obtained by different simplifications of the basic equations of oceanic thermodynamics derived in Chapter 1. A list of different forms of these equations for special cases plane (twodimensional) stationary and nonstationary problems, equations linearized relative to the state of rest and to background flow — is given here for convenience.
