| dc.description | Observational evidence is presented for nonlinear interaction between mesoscale internal Kelvin waves at the tidal -- $ω_t$ or the inertial -- $ω_i$ frequency and oscillations of synoptic -- $Ω$ frequency of the background coastal current of Japan/East Sea. Enhanced coastal currents at the sum -- $ω_+ $ and dif -- $ω_-$ frequencies: $ω_\pm =ω_{t,i}\pm Ω$ have properties of propagating Kelvin waves suggesting permanent energy exchange from the synoptic band to the mesoscale $ω_\pm $ band. The interaction may be responsible for the greater than predicted intensification, steepen and break of boundary trapped and equatorially trapped Kelvin waves, which can affect El Niño. The problem on the parametric interaction of the nonlinear Kelvin wave at the frequency $ω$ and the low-frequency narrow-band nose with representative frequency $Ω\llω$ is investigated with the theory of nonlinear week dispersion waves. | |
