Comparison of SSH signals associated with M\({}_{2}\) internal tides in the BoB derived from observation (black) and model (red) along (a) ascending and (b) descending satellite tracks. Only alternative tracks are shown to avoid cluttering. Bathymetric contour of 1000 m is also shown. Green circle indicates the region where large surface signals of M\({}_{2}\) internal tides in the north-central BoB. Wavenumber spectra of M\({}_{2}\) SSH signals from the observation (black) model (red) along the satellite track (c) TPN − J1N − 129 (interleaved) and (d) TP + J1 + J2 − 014 are shown. Vertical dashed lines represent the average theoretical wavelength of the first (blue) and second (green) baroclinic mode for M\({}_{2}\) internal tides along the satellite track computed by normal mode decomposition.
