    Abstract

    Based upon the Boussinesq approximation, an initial-value investigation is made of the axisymmetric Cauchy-Poisson waves generated in an inviscid, rotating, stratified liquid of infinite depth by the initially prescribed free-surface elevation. The asymptotic analysis of the integral solution is carried out by the stationary-phase method to describe the solution for large time and large distance from the source of the disturbance. The asymptotic solution is found to consist of the classical free-surface gravity waves and the internal-inertial waves.
