| Abstract: | Within the framework of the linear theory of long waves, we study internal waves generated by a barotropic tide in a two-layer
ocean of variable depth taking into account the influence of the Coriolis force. Barotropic waves run over an extended unevenness
of the bottom at an arbitrary angle. This unevenness is regarded as a model of the continental slope and shelf. We establish
the dependences of the amplitudes of generated internal waves on the angle of incidence of the barotropic tide, topography
of the bottom, and stratification.
