We describe a theoretical model for internal waves generated by a moving surface vessel. Our rather simple model uses a simple density depth profile (three layers: two mixed, and one with a constant density gradient) and represents the ship by two dipoles moving in the upper mixed layer. Nevertheless, it seems to agree rather well with actual field data obtained during a joint United States-Norwegian ocean radar project in the Sognefjord in July 1988.
