1. This vertical break up of internal waves causes significant diapycnal mixing and turbulence. 2. Internal waves in a continuously stratified medium may propagate vertically as well as horizontally.3. Waves on the pycnocline, called internal waves , are ubiquitous in Pelorus Sound. 4. An internal wave is a gravity wave that moves along density stratification within the ocean. 5. When a water parcel encounters a different density it will oscillate and create internal waves . 6. Internal wave amplitudes of around have been observed, generating flow speeds as great as.7. Where the ignimbrite was dammed by older lava flows, it formed internal wave structures. 8. As tides interact with varying bathymetry and wind mixes with surface water, internal waves are created. 9. It is for this reason that internal waves move in slow-motion relative to surface waves. 10. In analogy with the Merian formula, the expected period of the internal wave can be expressed as:
