Abstract
The generation mechanism of internal waves can be investigated by polarised SAR data. The integration between digital elevation model and Canny algorithm will be more useful for automatic detection of internal waves. The aim of this paper is to understand the generation mechanism of internal waves in shallow water of Malaysian coastal waters. The continuous wavelet transform is used to estimate energy and wavelengths within solution peaks from the detect internal wave. The Doppler radar was used to model the speed of internal wave. This study shows that the polarized P/sub HH/ band is more suitable for internal wave detection compared to L/sub HH/ and C/sub vv/ bands. It can be concluded that polarised SAR data could be used to understand the generation mechanism of internal waves. It can said that internal waves on the shallow waters of Malaysia are generated by strong tidal current flow over the irregular bottom topography.
