Abstract
In the paper, we present Pollard's exact solution for nonhydrostatic geophysical internal waves with underlying currents in f-plane approximation. We construct the exact solution of nonhydrostatic geophysical internal waves in the presence of underlying currents, extending Pollard's solution to admit underlying horizontal, meridional, and vertical currents at mid-latitudes. Furthermore, we show the underlying meridional and vertical currents are constant. At the equator, the vertical current term vanishes and the meridional current term may vary both zonally and vertically.
