摘要
Marginal water east of the Hainan Island is where internal waves occur frequently. Few studies have been conducted on these internal waves so far, and their formation mechanism remains unclear. In this study, the author uses the China-Brazil Earth Resources Satellite data (CBERS) to detect and calculate the distribution, direction, wavelength and amplitude of internal waves in this area. The results show that the direction of these internal waves is offshore and their wavelength is about 150-200 m. The internal waves can be postulated as formed by upwelling or reversed tide.
