This study investigates the generation of internal waves by decaying eddies in the North Atlantic western boundar y. The eddy presence and decay are measured from the altimetric surface re lative vorticity associated with an array of full-depth current meters ext ending ~100 km offshore at 26.5N. In addition\, internal waves are analyse d over a topographic rise from 2-year high-frequency measurements of an Ac oustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP)\, which is located 13 km offshore i n 600 m deep water. Despite an apparent polarity independence of the eddy decay observed from altimetric data\, the flow in the deepest 100 m is enh anced for anticyclones (25.2 cm/s) compared with cyclones (-4.7 cm/s). Acc ordingly\, the internal wave field is sensitive to this polarity-dependent deep velocity. This is apparent from the eddy-modulated enhanced dissipat ion rate\, which is obtained from a finescale parameterization and exceeds 10^-9 W/kg for near-bottom flows greater than 8 cm/s. The present study u nderlines the importance of oceanic western boundaries for removing the en ergy of low-mode westward-propagating eddies to higher-mode internal waves .
