Abstract: The effect of linear bottom friction on free topographic (second class) waves on a sloping beach is investigated. To handle the coastal singularity in the friction terms, Lighthill's method of strained coordinates is used ...

Abstract: The role played by bottom friction, bottom slope, ? effect, and density mixing in exchange between the shelf and a frontal jet is examined in the light of a two-layer model. The model uses linear dynamics and bottom and ...
