Here we present direct estimates of phase speeds of short-period internal waves (SIWs) in the Arctic Ocean obtained from the analysis of sequential Sentinel 1A/B SAR images. Analysis of data near Svalbard in June-September 2018 has shown a peak in SIW observations in August. Three key regions of SIW generation were identified: deep Fram Strait, southern and central parts of Yermak Plateau and shelf regions north-west of Svalbard. Maximal SIW phase speed values are found over the Yermak Plateau and attain 0.84 m/s. Over Fram Strait and on the Svalbard shelf, phase speed values are similar with mean value about 0.2–0.3±0.03 m/s. Obtained phase speeds are higher than maximal tidal currents over all three SIWs’ observation sites, confirming their tidal generation and free propagation at subcritical Froude numbers. Comparison of satellite-based phase speed estimates with theoretical values obtained using two-layer model and actual hydrological data has shown good correspondence for the cases when the time lag between satellite and field data was not exceeding one day.
Keywords: short-period internal waves, phase speed of internal waves, tidal currents, satellite radar images of the ocean surface, Fram Strait, Svalbard, Yermak Plateau, Arctic Ocean
