Data Visualization

Breaking Shoaling Internal Waves

Laboratory image of a breaking internal wave over a sill.

Drifter Tracks

Tracks of six drifters released in Lake Michigan, recorded over two months.

Near Inertial Velocities

East and north velocities from Lake Michigan’s interior. The perfect periodicity and vertical structure is associated with near-inertial internal waves.

Near-Inertial Surface Velocities

Surface currents observed from the EEGLE experiment, showing tide-like periodicity of near-inertial motions.

Drifter Trajectories

Positions of six drifters released in Lake Michigan’s central basin in July 2013. The tracks illustrate both the dominance of near-inertial motions in Lake Michigan’s interior, as well as the low rates of horizontal dispersion.
