Internal waves are large-scale, low-frequency oscillations within ocean waters or the atmosphere that occur at the density boundary layers of different fluid masses. They play a crucial role in the redistribution of energy and mixing processes within these systems, influencing global ocean circulation and climate patterns.

Redistribution of energy

Mixing processes are essential in various scientific and industrial applications to achieve homogeneity and ensure uniform distribution of components. These processes are influenced by factors such as fluid dynamics, material properties, and mixing techniques, which must be optimized for efficiency and effectiveness.

Global ocean circulation

Climate patterns refer to the recurring characteristics of climate in a specific region over long periods, influenced by factors like ocean currents, atmospheric circulation, and geographical features. Understanding these patterns is crucial for predicting weather events, assessing climate change impacts, and planning for agricultural and economic activities.
