  The general marine environment, namely the ‘wind-wave-current’ system, can develop into a typhoon, rogue wave, internal wave, or other extraordinary situations under specific circumstances, significantly impacting offshore engineering structures and the safety of life and property in coastal areas. Given the characteristics of marine disasters in the South China Sea - the frequent occurrence of internal waves - we discuss the generation mechanism and propagation of internal solitary waves and their impact on marine engineering. In particular, we show that a large-amplitude internal solitary wave can excite a fully localized ‘rip’ region on the sea surface, called the ‘surface signature’ or ‘tide rip’ in the literature. This phenomenon is much like Bohr’s model of the hydrogen atom in the semi-classical limit in quantum mechanics. We describe the reasons for these peculiar wave phenomena based on modeling, numerical simulation, and multi-scale analysis. In the end, studies of internal oceanic waves are generalized to the atmosphere with particular attention to arched undular bores and the Kelvin wake.
