The Impact of Finite-Amplitude Bottom Topography on Internal Wave Generation in the Southern Ocean

Direct observations in the Southern Ocean report enhanced internal wave activity and turbulence in a kilometer-thick layer above rough bottom topography collocated with the deep-reaching fronts of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. Linear theory, corrected for finite-amplitude topography based on id...
