These provides a framework for interpreting and understanding the results of numerical simulations. The effects of large amplitude solitary waves on patches of mobile phytoplankton. Interaction of a solitary wave with the bottom boundary layer. Shoaling solitary internal waves. Other areas of interest include problems related to the shoaling of nonlinear surface waves, mixing, stability and turbulence.
Currents associated with large internal waves in the ocean can modify the surface wave field.
Under certain conditions these sea surface signatures can be seen in photos taken from the space shuttle. The fifth International conference on stratified flows will be held in Vancouver, July 10-13, 2000. Motoyasu Miyata's list of publications of observations of large internal waves. Selected Activities and Awards Awarded the Editor's Citation for excellence in refereeing by the American Geophysical Union for 1998. 1996-1997 where I worked with Peter Holloway in the School of Geography and Oceanography .
