Abstract
Simple analytic solutions exist for the problem of periodic internal waves in an ocean of constant Brunt-Vaisala frequency where the bottom slope is linear. The solutions indicate a linear decrease of wavelength, and an increase in amplitude of the velocity field as the intersection of the bottom and the surface is approached. A logarithmic singularity exists at the intersection indicating high dissipation or breaking. The slope itself is a region of high shear.
