Bathymetry Spectra and the possible application on studying the generation of internal lee waves

Goff (1991) showed that the ocean bathymetry has well-behaved horizontal wave- number spectrum. Could this be used to approximate the high-wavenumber component which cannot be resolved with current Smith and Sandwell Data (Smith and Sandwell, 1997)?

St Laurent and Simmons (2006) show a method in the horizontal wave-number space to estimate the internal tides or lee wave generated through the interaction between currents and topography. However, they paid more attention to the internal tides due to the limitation of bathymetry data. Here, Could we benefit from the work mentioned above (Goff, 1991)?

If the answer is Yes, we can estimate the energy of generate lee wave and examine the role it plays in closing the ocean energy budget.
