Abstract :
Tidal internal wave generation over the Mascarene underwater ridge was studied by means of moored current and temperature meters measurements and tested by three mathematical models. The wave parameters amplitudes and energy fluxes were obtained. The measurements were compared with model results. The accordance was satisfactory
