DESCRIPTION:Most studies of internal tide generation have focused on the r
 ole of the barotropic tide interacting with topography. Our study focuses 
 on a mechanism which has not been considered up to now\, namely the intera
 ction of a barotropic tide with a baroclinic eddy field. The interaction o
 f a barotropic tidal current and a mesoscale eddy field is investigated to
  determine the ambient conditions under which energy is transferred most e
 fficiently from barotropic to baroclinic tides. We examine the transfer of
  energy as a function of latitude and eddy field structure. The existence 
 of critical latitudes is also discussed in this context.
