The role of large amplitude internal waves on bentho-pelagic processes of the Weddell Sea shelf

Current and temperature records sampled at 1-minute resolution reveal powerful internal waves on the Weddell Sea continental shelf. Packets of up to six solitary waves with leading soliton amplitudes >200 m and vertical velocities > 0.15 m/s were observed at tidal frequencies, causing large ve...
