Breeze-forced oscillations and strongly nonlinear tide-generated internal solitons

Abstract

The present thesis deals with observations of breeze-forced oscillations and modeling of strongly nonlinear tide-generated internal solitons. These two phenomena are of special interest owing to its periodic appearance, specially in shelf areas, with associated highly energetic motions. The contents of the seven chapters which compose this thesis are distributed as follows.

La presente Tesis Doctoral se centra en el estudio observacional de oscilaciones forzadas por las brisas y el modelaje de ondas internas solitarias de origen mareal fuertemente no lineales. El interés de estos fenómenos oceanográficos radica en su aparición periódica, especialmente en ambientes de plataforma continental, con corrientes asociadas altamente energéticas.
