Energy partition of rotating internal waves

ID: energy-partition-of-rotating-internal-waves

For a plane inertia-gravity wave independent of one horizontal coordinate, period-mean kinetic and available potential energy obey . The transverse rotating velocity is in quadrature with the in-plane velocity. The modified oscillator balance is ; ordinary kinetic/potential equipartition occurs only when the transverse amplitude vanishes.
