Abstract

We study some explicit cases of marine thermocline. We
focus our attention on the strongly vertically trapped internal waves, which
in our cases allow an explicit dispersion relation and a simple behaviour in
terms of elementary functions. The explicit form of the Vaisala-Brunt frequency
N2{z) is proportional to 1 / \z—20| in one case and to A2—B2(z—zD)2
in the other. A comparison with some experimental data concerning the
Ligurian Sea is actually in course.
