Abstract—The generation of internal tides over the Mascarene Ridge is studied on the basis of moored mea-
surements and numerical modeling. The beam structure of the internal wave propagation over a submarine ridge
is analyzed. The dependence of the beam propagation of the perturbations on the steepness of the slope, the
depth of the ridge crest, and the stratification is studied.
