When the internal waves break, they are one of the sources of small-scale turbulence. Small-scale turbulence causes the vertical exchange in the ocean. However, internal waves with regard to the Earth rotation in the presence of vertically inhomogeneous two-dimensional current are able to contribute to the vertical transport. Free inertial-gravity internal waves in a baroclinic current in a boundless basin of a constant depth are considered in the Bussinesq approximation.

Introduction. Vertical exchange plays a key role in a formation of oxygen and hydrogen sulfide concentration fields in the Black Sea. Mixing processes perform the ventilation of waters and maintain a stable functioning of the ecosystem. Usually, vertical exchange in a stratified marine environment is associated with small-scale turbulence which is generated by hydrodynamic instability of currents and breaking of internal waves. The internal waves play an important role in dynamic processes at a sea shelf as energy sources that generate these waves are constantly presented. These sources are the following: atmospheric pressure fluctuations, wind stresses on the sea surface, interaction of currents and tides with inhomogene-ities of a bottom topography, instability of currents.

The effect of small-scale turbulence on the internal waves was considered in a series of works [1-3]. It is shown that internal waves damp when turbulent viscosity and diffusion are taken into account. Vertical wave fluxes of heat, salt and momentum differ from zero at that [4]. In [5, 6] the mentioned effects were considered at the current with vertical shift of speed. It is revealed that without taking into account the rotation of the Earth, critical layers are absent due to the low velocity of current (under 0.15 m/s); its effect is manifested on the magnitude of the wave fluxes. It is of interest to find wave flux of momentum in a vertically-inhomoge-neous current for inertial-gravity internal waves (with regard to the Earth rotation). It is noteworthy that the vertical flux of momentum differs from zero in this case, even when turbulent viscosity and diffusion are ignored.

The statement of the problem. Free internal waves in a boundless basin of constant depth are considered taking into account the rotation of the Earth. Two current speed components depend on vertical coordinate. Dispersion relation and vertical distribution of internal wave amplitude are calculated in the linear approximation. The equation for the vertical speed amplitude has complex coefficients, therefore the eigenfunction of internal waves and wave frequency are complex, i. e. a weak wave damping takes place. Vertical wave fluxes of momentum and Stokes drift speed are defined in the second order of amplitude. Hydrodynamics equations in the Bussinesq approximation for wave disturbances have the following form:

where u, v, w are two horizontal and vertical components of current wave speed, respectively; p, P are wave disturbances of density and pressure; p0 (z) is a mean density profile; x, y, z are two horizontal and a vertical coordinates, z axis is directed vertically upwards; f is the Coriolis parameter; U0(z), V0(z) are two components of

Vertical profiles of current speed components and of their derivatives are represented in Fig. 1. Uo, Vo maximum values of current speed components vertical gradients make up 0.019 and 8.086-10-3 c-1, respectively. Lx = 1.16-107 m, Ly = = 5-106 m horizontal scales of density variation are much more than the wave length, therefore we neglect the horizontal density variation.

Boundary condition on the sea surface (z = 0) is a rigid lid condition which filters the internal waves from the surface ones [8]:

w(0) = 0. (6)

Boundary condition on the bottom is an impermeability condition:

w(-H) = 0. (7)

Linear approximation. We seek solutions for the linear approximation in the following form:

U = u10(z)Ae' + c.c., v1 = v10(z)Ae' + c.c., w1 = w10(z)Ae! + c.c., P = Po( z ) Ae10 + c.c., Pi =Pio( z ) Ae10 + c.c.,

(8)

where c. c. are complex conjugate terms; A is an amplitude multiplier; d is a wave phase,dd/dx = k, dd/dt = -a, k is a horizontal wave number,® - is a wave frequency. It is assumed that the wave propagates along x axis. After substituting (8) into the system (1) - (5), the relation of amplitude functions uw, v10, Pw, p10 to w10 function follows:

In the absence of (U0 = 0) current boundary problem (23), (24) at k fixed wave number has a discrete spectrum of frequencies lying in f <m0 < max(N) interval. Each k value corresponds to a certain frequency value for the given mode. At U0 (z) ^ 0 the discrete spectrum can be absent [9], which is due to a presence of

singularities in the equation (23) at Q0 = 0 and Q0 = ±f (hydrodynamically stable currents are considered). In this case there is a critical layer [10] where Q0 = 0

(phase velocity of the wave is equal to the one of current at that). The fact that the rotation of the Earth is taken into account leads to critical layer shift to the layer where Q0 = f [11]. The effect of this critical layer on the dispersion curves is il-

vw vertical wave momentum flux differs from zero also in the absence of current. uw momentum flux differs from zero only in the presence of mean current whose transversal to the wave propagation direction V0 velocity component depends on the vertical coordinate.

The results of calculations. To determine the vertical wave fluxes of momentum we use the results of the third stage of 44th voyage of R/V "Mikhail Lomono-sov" (the Black Sea northwestern shelf). According to the data of gradientdistribution temperature sensors (GRAD instruments) the time course of vertical displacements of the temperature isolines is constructed (Fig. 2) [14]. The instruments were placed one above the other and crossed the following layers: 5-15 m (the first instrument), 15-25 m (the second one), 25-35 m (the third one), 35-60 m (the fourth one). It can be clearly seen that strong 15-min oscillations in 25-60 m depth interval are in antiphase with oscillations in 15-25 m interval. This fact indi-

cates the presence of the second mode internal waves. The maximum amplitude of these waves made up 0.5 m and this allowed us to find A1 normalizing factor. In-

deed, the vertical velocity is linked with Z vertical displacement by — = w reladt

Z =-A exp(ikx - i®0t) + c.c., A1 =

(36)

Fig. 2. Temporal course of vertical displacements of temperature isolines

It follows from (36) that the maximum Z corresponds to the maximum of w0 / Q0 function, the maximum by modulus value of this relation (according to the calculation data) is reached precisely in the point of w0 function maximum. Eigen-

function of the second mode internal waves has its maximum at 50 m depth (Fig. 3, a), i. e. it corresponds to the maximum elevations according to the experiment data (Fig. 2). The boundary value problem (23), (24) according to w0 definition is solved numerically by the implicit Adams scheme of the third order of accuracy. Vertical profile of the Brunt - Vaisala frequency is shown in Fig. 3, b. At the fixed wave frequency k wave number is determined using the shooting method (because of necessity of satisfying the boundary conditions (24)). Dispersive curves of the first two modes are represented in Fig. 4, a. It is noteworthy that in low-frequency area dispersive curves do not reach the inertial frequency, moreover, the minimum frequency value of the second mode is higher than of the first one. This is due to the singularity in the equation (23) where the wave frequency with the Doppler shift is equal to the inertial one. We determine the funcntion w1 by solving

the inhomogeneous boundary value problem (28), (29). From the solvability condition (30) of this boundary value problem, we find the complex correction to the wave frequency, i. e. ôa> wave damping decrement. 15-min internal waves of the

second mode have âm = -1.12- 1G-5 rad/s. The boundary value problem (28), (29) is solved numerically according to the implicit Adams scheme of the third order of accuracy. The only solution, orthogonal to w0 one of the corresponding boundary

value problem (23), (24), is found. Damping decrement dependence on the wave number is shown in Fig. 4, b. In the low-frequency area this dependence behaves differently for the first and the second mode. This is due to the termination of dispersive curves in the low-frequency area; moreover, the termination of the second mode takes place at higher frequency than the one of the first mode. With the fixed wave number damping decrement of the second mode is greater (by the absolute magnitude) than the one of the first mode.

Conclusions.

1. Vertical wave fluxes of momentum of inertial-gravity internal waves differ from zero in a baroclinic flux and can be compared with turbulent fluxes (or exceed them).

2. Wave flux uw differs from zero only in the presence of current, whose velocity component (which is transversal to the wave propagation direction) depends on the vertical coordinate. In this case the Stokes drift velocity component, which is transversal to the wave propagation direction, differs from zero and is smaller than a longitudinal one by an order of magnitude.

3. Dispersive curves of internal waves of two first modes terminate in a low-frequency area which is due to the critical layer effect where wave frequency with the Doppler shift is equal to the inertial one. Termination of the second mode occurs at higher frequency that the one of the first mode.
