Bathymetry of northwest Atlantic and correlation of the oceanic and atmospheric wave activity observed in the area. a Bathymetry map of northwest Atlantic. b Probability density function of water depths in the part of the Atlantic Ocean depicted in a. Depth distribution is calculated in the area from 20° to 50° N and from 40° to 80° W using the satellite altimetry-derived global 2-min bathymetry dataset (Smith and Sandwell 1997) provided in MATLAB. The four water depths indicated by color, 150 m (yellow), 2649 m (red), 4300 m and 5900 m (white), are the depth for which the infragravity wave dispersion curves are shown in Fig. 5. c Correlation coefficient of spectral amplitudes of the wave activities observed in the Atlantic Ocean at the location of NDBC Station 44402 (39.30 °N 70.66 °W) and in the thermosphere over the Wallops Island, Virginia
