Abstract

ABSTRACT Large internal solitary waves with long crest are often observed in the northern of South China Sea by using remote sensing imagery. The wide swath remote sensing images such as RADARSAT ScanSAR, ENVISAT ASAR WSM and MODIS can cover a large area and observe several internal solitary wave packets in one scene. And these images have higher temporal resolution. So we can combine several images to monitor internal wave's evolution. In this paper internal waves propagation features are researched by synergy ENVISAT, RADARSAT, MODIS, TM images. The CTD data of internal solitary wave in South China Sea also validate our conclusion
