Fig. 1;　The model topography, representing the vertical cross section of a strait in the northeastern part of the Kuril Islands, where tidal currents are strong enough to cause considerable mixing.

internal mode stream function for the M₂ tide (x 1.e5 in cgs)

Fig. 2;　The time series of the internal mode stream function in the M₂ case during the second tidal period; after (a) 1.25, (b) 1.5, (c) 1.75, and (d) 2.0 periods. The contour interval is 1.0 × 10⁵cm²s^-1. Values in non shaded areas and the thicker shaded areas are positive and negative, respectively, and the absolute values in the thinner shaded areas are less than 1×10⁴cm²s^-1.
