Abstract
Internal waves generated by a baroclinic internal wave impinging on an oceanic ridge are studied. Two stratification models are considered: a two-layer ocean model (with a density jump) and a continuously stratified ocean model (model pycnocline). The results yielded by different stratification models are compared analytically. The analysis makes possible the application of a piecewise-constant approximation of the fluid stratification to study topographically-generated baroclinic tides.
