Abstract
Waves in a stratified fluid are described. First, linear wave theories are summarized for general stratifications. Secondly, mainly for a two-layer fluid, weakly nonlinear theories and fully nonlinear computations for steady progressive waves of large amplitude are reviewed. The similarity to or the difference from the case of surface water waves is also discussed.
