abstract: Purpose.The paper is aimed at investigating the momentum vertical transfer by inertia-gravity internal waves on a two-dimensional flow with a vertical shear of velocity, and also at studying the Stokes drift of liquid particles and the mean current effect on it.Methods and Results.Free internal waves in an infinite basin of constant depth are considered in the Boussinesq approximation with the regard for the Earth rotation.Two components of the mean current velocity depend on the vertical coordi
