Internal Wave Overturning

Internal Wave Overturning is a fluid dynamical phenomenon in which the amplitude of an internal wave in a stratified fluid becomes sufficiently large that the wave breaks, leading to localized instabilities, convective overturning, and the subsequent mixing of fluid layers.
