Differential equations, boundary, and discontinuity conditions are obtained which relate the internal tide to the surface tide in a two-layer system. Solutions of these equations give internal tides which may be large compared to the surface tide. In the coastal region these internal tides are standing waves and further offshore they attain the characteristics of progressive waves traveling seaward.
