碩士 === 國立臺灣海洋大學 === 海洋科學系 === 92 === The main research domain in the earlier articles about internal wave phenomenon in the Andaman Sea, like Osborne (1980) and Alpers (1997). From CRISP and MODIS websites, we searched more than 5000 SAR images during 1995 and 2003 that acquired by ERS-1/2 satellite, and some MODIS images acquired by Terra and Aqua satellite over the Andaman Sea. In order to study the generation and revolution of nonlinear internal wave in the Andaman Sea, we had composed some figures including SAR images and sea bottom topography. We had found another four generation areas of internal wave, one origin of reflection. Since the internal wave was produced, generally spread to the direction of the Malay Peninsula eastwards. The interaction of internal waves was obvious. While the wave packets were propagated onto to the continental shelf, such that the shoaling effect include refraction and breaking was obvious, too.
