Abstract: The field of internal gravity waves in a layer of an arbitrary stratified fluid is studied for critical generation modes and in the vicinity of trajectories of motion of the perturbation sources. The exact solutions describing the structure of a separate mode of the wave field in the vicinity of the perturbation source in the critical generation modes are investigated, and expressions for the total field representing the sum of all wave modes are obtained. In the vicinity of the trajectories of the perturbation sources, asymptotic representations of the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the basic vertical spectral problem of internal waves are constructed in the approximation of large wave numbers and asymptotic expressions for a separate mode of the wave field are obtained that describe the spatial structure and features of the fields of internal gravity waves.

Keywords: internal gravity waves, stratified medium, asymptotics of a separate mode, group velocity.
