Balance and Spontaneous Wave Generation in Geophysical Flows (2013, methodology): “A comprehensive treatment of IGW generation for F 1 is provided by the shallow-water analysis of Ford et al. (2000).”
Internal gravity waves from atmospheric jets and fronts (2014, methodology): “The application to the geophysical context is due to Rupert Ford [e.g., Ford, 1994a; Ford et al., 2000] and is sometimes called Ford-Lighthill emission.”
Wind Stress Dependence on Ocean Surface Velocity: Implications for Mechanical Energy Input to Ocean Circulation (2006, background): “At low Rossby number, however, energy exchanges between geostrophic and gravity modes are weak (Ford et al. 2000).”
An overview of the past, present and future of gravity‐wave drag parametrization for numerical climate and weather prediction models (2003, background): “A unified theory of such dynamics has been sought but remains elusive: for example, the formal existence or otherwise of a “slow (or quasi-slow) manifold” that would unambiguously separate “balanced” motion from “unbalanced” motions such as gravity waves (e.g., McIntyre and Norton, 2000; Ford et al.”
