For ω2>κ2, set Q=kHω/ω2−κ2​. Even-pressure and odd-pressure modes have p′∝cosh(Qz/H) and sinh(Qz/H) and obey ω2=Ωz2​QtanhQ and ω2=Ωz2​QcothQ, respectively. At large kH, both become free-surface gravity waves with
ω2∼21​[κ2+κ4+4Ωz4​(kH)2​]=Ωz2​kH+21​κ2+O((kH)−1).

Their opposite-parity splitting is exponentially small as the two interfaces decouple.
