Abstract
Sulu Sea in Southeastern Asia, is one of the hottest spot of internal wave generation. The length of internal wave crest, the wavelength, and phase speed are derived from the MODIS/VIIRS image pairs acquired within one tidal cycle show large variations from spring to neap tides. Four IW generation sites in the Sulu Sea are identified and tied to the tidal current pattern and strength at the Sulu Archipelago. Tidal current based on the Oregon State University Tidal Prediction Software (OTPS) show that large IW with an upward tail are generated by spring tides and vice versa. The internal waves follow the bathymetry and bend toward shallower waters throughout their journey to Palawan Island for about 2.5 days. The merging and fission of IW after they are generated are also discussed.
