Abstract(s)
As is well-known, the tidal force of the moon and the sun can cause notable changes in the sea level. Besides this so-called
barotropic effect, the tidal force also drives internal waves in a daily rhythm. Thus, the internal wave spectrum is often dominated by
a single component with perhaps 10 km from crest to crest. This ‘‘internal tide’’ tends to propagate toward shore and has its greatest
height near the shelfbreak.
