When the internal waves break, they are one of the sources of small-scale turbulence.Small-scale turbulence causes the vertical exchange in the ocean.However, internal waves with regard to the Earth rotation in the presence of vertically inhomogeneous two-dimensional current are able to contribute to the vertical transport.Free inertial-gravity internal waves in a baroclinic current in a boundless basin of a constant depth are considered in the Bussinesq approximation.Boundary value problem of l
