Near-inertial parametric subharmonic instability of internal wave beams

Parametric subharmonic instability (PSI) of internal wave beams in a uniformly stratified fluid is discussed, for the case where the beam frequency is nearly twice the inertial frequency due to background rotation. Compared with generic PSI, beams of finite width are expected on physical grounds to...
