5200 |a"Circularly polarized, clockwise rotating currents at or near the local inertial frequency are a common occurrence in the offshore regions of the Great Lakes during the stratified season. Often they are the most energetic component of water motion and because they are associated with large vertical shears supported by the stably stratified layers, they may modify, through shear-generated turbulence, the very stratification they depend on. ... This paper focusses on a singlular feature of the Central Basin current records, the occurrence of a marked maximum of inertial frequency motion in July. Just above the seasonal thermocline. After review of the relevant theory for the generation of inertial frequency motion, the authors propose a simple model that extends Ekman theory to the case of surface wind forcing and subsurface forcing by the pressure gradients (or surface slope) due to wind set-up"--Exec. summary.
