Parametric subharmonic instability and the β-effect
Parametric subharmonic instability (PSI) is a nonlinear interaction between a resonant triad of waves, in which energy is transferred from low wavenumber, high frequency modes to high wavenumber, low frequency modes. In the ocean, PSI is thought to be one of the mechanisms responsible for transfe...
