We investigate available Envisat advanced synthetic aperture radar imagery of the region, which is capable of showing the surface signatures of the internal waves. This is complemented by modeling of the ray pathways of internal tidal energy propagation, and of the P. G. Baines (1982) barotropic body force, which drives the generation of internal tides near the shelf break. The hot spot region is localized between 20\u00b0 and 21\u00b0S because of the particular nature of the bathymetry there. Farther north and south, the forcing is reduced and insufficient to generate internal solitary waves in the synthetic aperture radar images. The analysis reveals two distinct types of internal wave trains that are observed traveling oceanward away from the shelf break, and we suggest that these result from direct generation at the shelf break and from \u201clocal\u201d generation at about 80 km from the shelf break, respectively, because of the surfacing of internal tidal rays at the thermocline. Finally, we have investigated seasonal differences in the wave patterns, which penetrate more extensively into the channel during the southern summer and appear slightly farther to the south during the southern winter. We also conclude that the local generation process is more likely to occur during the winter when the stratification is reduced.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1029\/2008jc005125","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,4,30]],"date-time":"2009-04-30T20:07:35Z","timestamp":1241122055000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":44,"title":["Internal solitary waves in the Mozambique Channel: Observations and interpretation"],"prefix":"10.1029","volume":"114","author":[{"given":"J.
