Mainly forced by wind\, NIWs propagate downward into the ocean’s interio r. NIWs are ubiquitous in the oceans\, superimposed over geostrophic curre nts. However\, it is unclear if they exchange energy with the balanced flo w\, thus influencing the circulation. Using a two-layer shallow-water mode l\, we investigate this question. We compare our results with those from t he Xie & Vanneste (2015) model\, which highlights energy transfers from th e balanced flow to NIWs potential energy. We find the same result\, though via a different mechanism.\n DTSTART:20160127T193000Z DTEND:20160127T200000Z LOCATION:Room 934\, Burnside Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B9\, 805 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Student Seminar: Alexis Riopel URL:/meteo/channels/event/student-seminar-alexis-riope l-255068 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
