“…This model determines the background of oceanic internal wave spectra, over which intense processes of internal wave generation occur leading to the appearance of large-amplitude (up to extreme values of 500 m) internal waves (Alford et al, 2015). Data of the largeamplitude internal waves in various areas of the World Ocean are collected in numerous papers (Apel et al, 1985;Salusti et al, 1989;Holloway et al, 1999;Morozov, 1995Morozov, , 2018Ramp et al, 2004;Sabinin and Serebryany, 2007;Shroyer et al, 2011;Xu and Yin, 2012;Kozlov et al, 2014;Xu et al, 2016). For example, extreme waves of high amplitudes in the Strait of Gibraltar and Kara Gates Strait were analyzed in Morozov et al (2002Morozov et al ( , 2003Morozov et al ( , 2008.…”

Abstract. Statistical estimates of internal waves in different regions of the World Ocean are discussed. It is found that the observed exceedance probability of large-amplitude internal waves in most cases can be described by the Poisson law, which is one of the typical laws of extreme statistics. Detailed analysis of the statistical properties of internal waves in several regions of the World Ocean has been performed: tropical part of the Atlantic Ocean, northwestern shelf of Australia, the Mediterranean Sea near the Egyptian coast, and the Yellow Sea.
