We consider analytical solutions describing the generation of internal gravity waves far from a non-local source of disturbances. We suppose that the source moves on the surface of stratified medium of a finite depth. A model distribution of the non-local source shape with radial symmetry is used. This approximation correctly describes (qualitatively) the main spatiotemporal characteristics of natural sources of generation of internal gravity waves in the ocean. The resulting solution is the sum of wave modes. The solution is presented as a series of eigenfunctions of the spectral problem of internal gravity waves. The results of numerical calculations of internal gravity waves components at different depths are presented and discussed.
