Surprisingly little is known about how internal waves are generated...

Hmmm...

Don’t tell me, let me guess:

Next it will be announced that global warming (pardon me, “global climate chnage”) is adversely affecting these invisible wave patterns, right?

Sounds similar to the internal waves under HRC’s pantsuit - it looked like two dogs fighting under a blanket.

New discoveries of unknown forces continue to come, yet somehow the climate models predictions are of course not to be questioned.

I'm all for researching climate as humans will eventually have to cope or perish with much warmer or cooler temperatures than we have today. But not enough is presently known to know where we are in the warming-cooling cycle.

My Prof of Oral History tells the story of his Grandpappy durring World War II. Seems that in that timeframe Women began regularly wearing Pants:

"I was following a large woman wearing them britches," Grand pappy said, "and the action there reminded me of two pigs fighting in a totesack."

The Prof wouldn't make it these days.

A class of powerful, invisible waves hidden beneath the surface of the ocean can shape the underwater edges of continents

Here they are:

Wait... It’s a picture of Obama without the suit!

Or... It’s McCain’s knowledge of economics!

Or... It’s everything I’ll have left after a carbon cap & trade system!

Or... It’s the conservatives left in California after 2010!

Or... It’s Michelle’s love of country!

Turns out it's really Pigs In A Pants Suit

I’ve seen those before, with captions; they were labeled “a” and “b”.

That’s where that expression, “cube b, or not cube b” originated.

Okay, so, it wasn’t worth the setup...

;’)

Thanks FN.

To “b” or not cube “b”...however, cube “a” seems to have frozen rather suddenly...?

My imaginary friends and I are going to surf the invisible waves.

OK. Putting my smartaleck comments about pigs in totesacks aside. And trying to read this article for comprehension:

It seems that Zheng is talking about the mixing of different densities of water under the surface. Kinda like the wave in a bottle using oil and water. Cold water may well up and then "crash" wave-like over some warm water in its way causing mixing and scrubbing the continental shelf, then generally returning to its level much like the wave in the bottle. And this goes on night and day, year in and year out.

Isn't this more a study of currents and temperature differentiation than "invisible waves" discussion? I think currents affect IW not the other way around.

If an invisible wave crashes under the surface does anyone hear it.
