Nonlinear critical layer development of forced wave packets in geophysical shear flows
We investigate the nonlinear development of a forced wave packet in the presence of a critical layer in a shear flow. Two different geophysical flows are considered: vertically propagating internal gravity wave packets in a stratified shear flow and Rossby wave packets propagating toward the equator...
