Comment on +ACI-Are there internal Kelvin waves in Lake Tanganyika?+ACI- by Jaya Naithani and Eric Deleersnijder

摘要

Recent numerical modelling efforts have demonstrated the presence of Kelvin waves in Lake Tanganyika (Naithani and Deleersnijder, 2004), however it is claimed that these waves should not appear according to classical scaling arguments. Based on existing classical scaling arguments, supported by laboratory and field investigations, I will show why they can, and apparently do, appear in Lake Tanganyika.
