[1] Near-inertial ($18 hours) internal waves were observed in the mid-western part of the
East Sea on May 18 and 19, 2004 using C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images.
Current and temperature measurements obtained during the field experiment from 10 May to
9 June 2004 (IWXES2004, Internal Wave eXperiment in the East Sea), were analyzed to
investigate the processes by which near-inertial internal waves can be seen in SAR images
and how they progress. The spatial distributions of horizontal wavelength and phase  ...
