Oceanic internal waves often have curvilinear fronts and propagate over various currents. We present the first study of long weakly-nonlinear internal ring waves in a three-layer fluid in the presence of a background linear shear current.…

We study the nonlinear evolution of very oblique small-scale Alfv\'en waves with $k_\perp d_i\gtrsim 1$. At these scales, the waves become significantly compressive, unlike in MHD, due to the Hall term in the equations. We demonstrate that…
