The bright band is associated with the convergence zone, as determined by the orbital particle motion within the internal wave. This varying appearance is due to sensitivity to wind speed and wind direction, as well as to the orientation of the wave groups to the radar platform Jackson and Apel, p.

First of all, a search extent was defined in order to narrow the geographic area in which to look for the internal waves. This area roughly covered from 42 deg 44 min 19 sec N to 41 deg 30 min 2 sec N and from 71 deg 8 min 3 sec W to 69 deg 36 min 30 sec W..

Each of the 66 SAR images which were taken between May 14, and August 29, were examined for internal waves, using the internal wave packet characteristics listed above as an identification guide. A ESRI polygon shapefile was created with columns recording the SAR image tile name, its year, date and time, as well as the internal wave packet area, packet propagation direction and moon phase during which it occurred.

All internal wave packets were digitized at a , scale and saved in this shapefile, along with the necessary attribute information. The internal wave packet data were analyzed using a non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test for significant differences in the median with a Dunn's post hoc test.
