Abstract
In the absence of background rotation, the Eulerian flow induced by two-dimensional internal wave packets is well known to have the structure of long trailing internal waves. We show that rotation makes these waves evanescent and the structure of the flow over the waves in the wave packet qualitatively changes, with implications for the modulational stability of the waves.
