Abstract

The experiment on study of ambient nose generated by large-amplitude internal waves in Luzon Strait is analyzed. Simultaneous observations of internal waves and characteristics of ambient noise generated by them were carried out. Fast 50-m solitary internal wave propagated to the northwest direction with speed more than 3 m/s was observed. It was revealed an enhancing of ambient noise level (at frequency range 1-2 kHz) at a time of passing the face side of the solitary wave.
