Generation of inertia-gravity waves in a baroclinically unstable fluid
A novel technique is used to visualize and measure the baroclinically unstable flow in a two-layer, rotating annulus experiment with very high resolution in space and time. It is found that small-scale, high-frequency waves are generated in certain preferred locations within the flow by a baroclinic...
