Popis:	The vertical displacements associated with oscillations near the local inertial frequency f, in a stratified ocean, are found to be significant, even very close to f. For a frequency omega = (1+epsilon)f, the ratio of rms vertical velocity to horizontal velocity is o(the square root of epsilon). Observations near Hawaii, made with a recently developed pycnocline follower, show inertial oscillation events similar to those found by Webster in current meter records, and discussed theoretically by Crepon, and by Pollard.
