Short summary
This study presents a new approach to simulating large ocean density waves that travel long distances without breaking down. This new approach ensures that these waves are depicted more accurately and realistically in our models. This is particularly useful for understanding wave behavior in lakes with distinct water layers, which can help predict natural phenomena and their effects on environments like swash zones, where waves meet the shore.
