Principle of convective wave breaking: an IGW is excited at r = r0. When propagating towards a critical layer located at r = rc, the radial gradient of its temperature fluctuation grows with kr until it overturns the stable equilibrium entropy stratification at the breaking radius r = rb. This triggers a convective instability.
