                         Journal of Geophysical Research 102 (D22) 26,28326,299], we found 
                         that there is a preferential propagation direction, from the 
                         Continent to the Atlantic Ocean. The observed wave propagation 
                         directions reveal that a major part of the waves have their 
                         direction from Continent toward Ocean. The possible source of the 
                         wave generation is discussed.",
