| Zusammenfassung |
| The generation of huge amplitude internal waves by the barotropic tide in
the Barents Sea at high latitudes is examined using the numerical model of
the Euler 2-D equations for incompressible stratified fluid. The area considered
is located between the Spitsbergen (Svalbard) Island and the
Franz-Victoria Trough with a cross-section of 350 km length. There are two
underwater hills about 100–150 m high on the background depth of about
300 m. It is shown that intensive nonlinear internal waves with amplitudes
up to 50 m and lengths of about 6–12 km are generated in this zone. The total
height of such waves is huge and they must be considered as a significant
factor of the environment in this basin. |
