Abstract

This chapter summarizes and extends part of the lectures on internal gravity waves in the atmosphere and ocean by focusing upon the various instabilities associated with vertically propagating internal waves, including breaking due to convective overturning and shear, parametric subharmonic instability, and modulational instability associated with spatially localized wave packets.
