The refraction, shoaling and structure of non-linear internal waves at a continental shelf margin

Observations of internal waves near the Continental shelf-edge are generally ascribed to generation by oscillating tidal flow over the local bathymetry, in the presence of a stratified water column, giving rise to the internal tide. In this thesis observations are presented which demonstrate that in...
