Zakhnrchuk: Internal Waves in the Lqptev Sea
51
2 High-frequency internal waves probably are generated by an internal tide waves.
3 Vertical shear of the horizontal current velocity in the high-frequency internal waves and
their instability lead to generation of small-scale turbulence and increases mixing in the
continental slope-shelf zone. This lead to the formation of a mesoscale (tidal) frontal zone
between the more mixed waters at the shelf edge and deeper stratified waters situated at the
continental slope near Severnaya Zemlya Islands.
