For reasons to be discussed, the interpretation of experimental data is notably more involved when internal waves of various frequencies are present, as is the case with real tides, which represent a superposition of various diurnal (K1, O1) and semidiurnal (M2, S2) components. This in turn complicates the modal analysis when a continuum of frequencies are present e.g. due to internal wave forcing by a gravity current.
This work was jointly conducted with Paula Echeverri (MIT), Tom Peacock (MIT) and Kraig Winters (UCSD-SIO) with additional contributions by Neil Balmforth (UBC) and Alexis Kaminski (U. Alberta).

Abstract: Dan Lynch (Dartmouth College NH) has invited me and Ata Bilgili (Istanbul Technical University) to co-author a book with him having the above title. It is aimed at summarizing Lagrangian techniques for near-shore applications. It is well beyond my normal expertise. This talk will describe some of the underlying math and some of the particle tracking applications we plan on covering in the book. The primary focus will be on the education of the speaker.
