This paper studies the internal wave band of temperature fluctuation spectra in the coastal zone of Pacific ocean. It is observed that on the central Mexican Pacific Shelf in the high-frequency band of temperature spectra the spectral exponent tends to ~?^-1 at the time of spring tide and ?^-2 at the time of neap tide. On the western shelf of the Japan/East Sea, in the ?<
