From: Intensification of tidally generated internal waves in the north-central Bay of Bengal
Barotropic M\({}_{2}\) flux vectors in the northern BoB. Yellow curve indicate the arc-shape of the continental slope in the northern BoB and black arrow shows the radius (457 km) of the arc. (b) Barotropic to baroclinic M\({}_{2}\) conversion rates. Boxes (I–III) represent the major internal tide generation sites. (c) Baroclinic M\({}_{2}\) bottom pressure anomaly (Pa) at the bottom and (d) total energy (E = APE + HKE) of M\({}_{2}\) internal tides. Blue circle in (d) represent the focal region. Bathymetric contours of 100 and 1000 m are shown. (e,f) Vertical displacement of isopycnals associated with M\({}_{2}\) internal tides along the transect L1 (e) and L2 (f) shown in (c). All the computations are performed using one-month (September 2013) hourly model output.
