Internal waves of the fundamental mode propagating into a shoaling region have been studied experimentally in a continuously stratified fluid. The waves divide into three classes depending upon the ratio of the bottom slope γ to the wave-characteristic slope c . For γ/ c 1, the waves are inhomogeneous and have complex spatial dependence.
Cacchione et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
