Abstract
A review of observations of high-amplitude internal waves is presented. These waves play an important role in the global scenario of water mixing in the world ocean and also cause a considerable variability of oceanographic fields, including the sound velocity field. The main sources of intense internal waves and the regions where such waves arise are considered. It is shown that, in addition to the much-investigated trains of soliton-like internal waves, which are formed near large-scale inhomogeneities of the bottom relief because of the nonlinear evolution of internal tides, internal waves encountered in the open ocean also possess considerable amplitudes and nonlinearity.
