The problem of scattering of linear internal waves from small compact sea bottom inhomogeneities is considered from the point of view of mode-to-mode scattering. A simple formula for modal conversion coefficients, quantifying the amount of energy that is scattered into the n-th mode from the incident field m-th mode, is derived. In this formula the representation of inhomogeneities by their expansions into the Fourier and Fourier-Bessel series with respect to angular and radial coordinates respectively are used. Results of calculations, performed in a simple model case, are presented. The obtained formula can be used for a formulation of the inverse problem, as it was done in the acoustic case.
