Shimizu, K. 2012. Parameterizing individual effects of shear and stratification on mixing in stably stratified shear flows. Journal of Geophysical Research – Oceans, 117: C03030. doi:10.1029/2011JC007514.

  • Figure 8: There are errors in the inset labels. $\mathrm{Fr}_d^{-1}$ in panel d) should be $\mathrm{Fr}_d^{-2}$. Furthermore, blue and red lines should be swapped; i.e., blue and red lines are for $\mathrm{Sh}_d=7$ and $12$ in panels a) and c), and for $\mathrm{Fr}_d^{-2}=7$ and $25$ in panels b) and d), respectively.

Shimizu, K. 2011. A theory of vertical modes in multi-layer stratified fluids. Journal of Physical Oceanography, 41: 1694-1707. doi:10.1175/2011JPO4546.1.

  • Eq. (55a): Minus sign is missing on the right-hand-side.
  • Eq. (59): $\hat{h}^{(m)}$ on the right-hand-side should be in the denominator (not in the numerator).

Shimizu, K., and J. Imberger. 2009. Damping mechanisms of internal waves in a continuously-stratified rotating basin. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 637: 137-172. doi:10.1017/S0022112009008039.

  • Figure 6: The range of the shading scale on the far right column should be from -0.05 to 0.05, not from -0.5 to 0.5.
  • Figure 8: The phase of the solution in b) is not $0$ but $\pi$, so the azimuthal velocity above the bottom boundary layer is into the paper.
