Abstract—A theoretical model is contrived that describes the propagation of internal waves under ice cover.
According to the results obtained in the study, the flexures of the ice surface with a frequency close to but
smaller than the Brunt–Väisälä frequency can gain amplitudes sufficient for recording internal waves. A com-
parison of the theory with observations showed a satisfactory agreement.
