Abstract

A linear stability analysis of a doubly diffusive system, with rotation and shear, shows that overstable oscillations can occur in stratifications typical of the equatorial ocean, that internal waves encountering an equatorial current can exchange energy with the current, and that the wave-induced fluxes of salt and heat can lead to layer formation in the salinity, temperature and velocity fields.
