摘要

Abstract

Various aspects of studies on internal tides are reviewed. Both beam-like structure and modal structure of internal tides may exist in the ocean. Bottom intensifications are caused by many factors

e.g. upstream blocking

which is the result of nonlinear interaction among waves. The energy may decay very fast so that internal tides are mostly locally generated. Internal tides may have considerable residual currents. In a 3-D frame

numerical study revealed that internal waves may interfere with each other to cause strong motions far from the generation sources. The mechanism that determines how the lee waves break to form various nonlinear waves such as solitary waves

hydraulic jumps and internal surges or bores remains unclear. Analytic study is difficult

so numerical method may be effective. A radiation condition on the open boundary must be employed. A complete 3-D model may gain interesting result. Study on internal tides in China is limited to field observations and data analysis.
