  • Abstract
    Mode 2 internal wave (IW) signatures are observed by the RADARSAT-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) in the Northeast South China Sea on April 07, 2001. In this study, we prove that the conditions of the study area are favorable for the generation and propagation of mode-2 waves to appear in SAR imagery. The generation mechanism of this mode 2 IW is mode-1 IW evolves into mode-2 convex IW packets when shoaling.
