摘要
Observational evidence is presented for pervasive nonlinear interaction between inertial and Ma frequency oscillations in the northeast Pacific. Enhanced currents at the sum frequency (termed the "fM(2) frequency") have the rotary spectral properties of freely propagating waves suggesting permanent energy exchange from the inertial and semidiurnal bands to the fM(2) band. The interaction may be responsible for the greater than predicted decay of inertial energy observed in the ocean and may contribute significantly to oceanic mixing.
