Short summary
The Vitória–Trindade Ridge off the Brazilian coast is a hotspot for internal tides, which drive energy and nutrients exchanges in the ocean. Using satellite data and a high-resolution ocean model, we study what influences these small waves in this region. We show that internal tides are generated more strongly in summer and lose energy faster in winter. Ocean eddies may also affect their fate. These results are essential for understanding oceanic energy pathways and refine model predictions.
