Abstract: To date, the influence of non-linear stratifications and two layer stratifications on internal wave propagation has been studied for two-dimensional wave fields in a cartesian geometry. Here, we use a novel wave generator configuration to investigate transmission in non-linear stratifications of axisymmetric internal wave. Two configurations are studied, both theoretically and experimentally. In the case of a free incident wave, a transmission maximum is found in the vicinity of evanescent frequencies. In the case of a confined incident wave, resonant effects lead to enhanced transmission rates from an upper layer to layer below. We consider the oceanographic relevance of these results by applying them to an example oceanic stratification, finding that there can be real-world implications.
