| Abstract: | Taking into consideration stratification, the mean current velocity, and the tangential wind stress expressed in terms of air pressure fluctuations, we have derived iteration formulae and have performed computations of the amplitudinal characteristics of oceanic internal waves generated by air pressure waves of semi-diurnal and 4-day long periodicity propagating over the Tropical Atlantic Ocean. It has been demonstrated that such periodicity and wavelengths may contribute to the generation of long-amplitude internal waves, whose intensity is largely dependent on the direction of atmospheric wave propagation.Translated by Vladimir A.
