An example of internal waves
 This
image from 26 May 1993 clearly illustrates three trains of internal waves converging
on a point in the bottom center of the image. Up to five crests may be seen
in each wave train, and their wavelengths appear to decrease towards the trailing
edge of the group.
The gentle arc of the lines of surface roughness also indicates the propagation
direction. The local wind speed at the time of image acquisition was 2.5 m/s
from the east.
