Abstract

Internal waves occurring in the specific Mid-Atlantic ridge area as a result of the impinging of a barotropic tide are studied in the terms of the linear theory for surface waves. The ocean is assumed to be double-layered, with a tidal wave running onto it at an arbitrary angle. The dependences of the wave amplitudes and horizontal velocities on the angle of run-on of a tidal wave are derived. Similar studies for the model bottom topography have been reported in refs 1–3.
