Geography of energy lost by the semidiurnal M2 barotropic tide and converted into internal tides. a Energy lost by the M2 barotropic tide, \(D_{{\mathrm{M}}_2}\), computed from TPXO850, and b barotropic-to-baroclinic tide energy conversion from the semi-analytical model, \(E_{{\mathrm{M}}_2}^{1 - \infty }\). c Positive part of the divergence of M2 mode-1 horizontal energy flux \((\nabla \cdot {\mathbf{F}}_{{\mathrm{M}}_2}^1)^ +\) derived from satellite altimetry27 (areas where the mesoscale activity is too strong to recover the internal tide signal are masked in dark grey), and d barotropic-to-baroclinic tide energy conversion into mode 1 from the model, \(E_{{\mathrm{M}}_2}^1\). Areas shallower than 700 m are shown in dark grey
