Abstract :
In this work taking the advantage of high resolution spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) measurements we present first preliminary results of short-period internal waves (IW) observations in the Barents, Kara and White seas based on ENVISAT ASAR data for summer-autumn months in 2007-2011. Altogether more than 2000 IW packets were identified in about 1400 SAR images. Detailed maps of internal wave´s occurrences in the three Arctic seas have helped to identify main sites of regular IW generation.
