Summary	The proposed research will develop an effective and accurate theoretical model to investigate the generation, propagation, and transformation of large amplitude internal solitary waves over variable bottom topography, and then integrate the resulting internal wave model with an improved radar imaging model for remote sensing of the surface signatures of these strongly nonlinear internal waves. This highly interdisciplinary project will provide a comprehensive but practical tool for predicting and monitoring internal wave activity in the ocean.
