“…At large spatial scales, seamounts can induce a deflection of current (Roden and Taft, 1985;Vastano et al, 1985). At shorter scales, reflected internal gravity waves (Eriksen, 1991;Eriksen et al, 1982), seamount-trapped topographic waves (Brink, 1990;Codiga, 1997a, b;Codiga and Eriksen, 1997), reflection, amplification and distortion of internal waves (Eriksen, 1982(Eriksen, , 1985(Eriksen, , 1991Kaneko et al, 1986) and amplification of diurnal and semidiurnal tides (Genin et al, 1989;Kunze and Toole, 1997;Noble and Mullineaux, 1989) have been reported. Seamounts have also found to be sites of amplified turbulent mixing (Kunze and Toole, 1997;Lueck and Mudge, 1997;Navatov and Ozmidov, 1988).…”
