Short summary
In our laboratory experiments we addressed the question of how surface standing waves in a closed stratified basin are damped by the interaction of the flow in the bulk with a sill-like bottom obstacle reaching up to a density interface between the more saline deep layer and the freshwater layer at the top. We quantify the decay rates of the surface waves and explore what types of internal waves can be excited in this process along the internal density interface.
