A detailed picture of internal solitary waves (ISWs) in the White Sea is presented based on an analysis of historical spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data and field measurements. The major hot-spot of ISW generation locates in the southwestern (SW) Gorlo Strait (GS), characterized by the p...
