Theoretical investigation of the experimentally observed enigmatic phenomen of surface manifestation of bottom topography reproducing well the image of the relief despite several kilometers of ocean depth. Both satelliteobservations and direct measurements have been repeatedly reported in thelast two decades. Suggested is a possible mechanism for these manifestations in a large scale range (0f the order 5 x 10 bis 1000 km) based on the hydrodynamic theory of quasi-geostrophic stratified flow over topography on a Beta-plane. The content and the mechanism of this flow over topographyis described. The results and the factors, influencing this results and the quality of the manifestation, are dicussed in detail
