摘要：

Field observations of an internal solitary wavetrain impacting a shoaling bottom are presented. Measurements of the spatio-temporal characteristics of the shoaling waves are given, as well as estimations of the mixing they may have caused upon impact. The observations are discussed in the context of numerical simulations, laboratory experiments, and hypotheses recently raised on the origin and evolution of internal solitary waves in coastal environments.
