Abstract: Where water is denser on a shallow shelf than in the adjacent deep ocean, it tends to flow down the slope from shelf to ocean. The flow can be in a steady bottom boundary layer for moderate combinations of upslope density ...

Abstract: Waves of sub-inertial frequency in a continuously stratified ocean and trapped over a continental shelf and slope are considered. They form one infinite discrete sequence of modes with frequencies decreasing to zero. The ...

Abstract: eflection of internal waves from sloping topography is simple to predict for uniform stratification and linear slope gradients. However, depth-varying stratification presents the complication that regions of the slope may ...

Abstract: The nature of the transition in coastal-trapped wave behavior from trapped, subinertial modes to imperfectly trapped, superinertial waves (not modes), is investigated. When formulated purely in terms of pressure, the ...

Abstract: AbstractReflection and transmission of normally incident internal waves propagating across a geostrophic front, like the Kuroshio or Gulf Stream, are investigated using a modified linear internal wave equation. A transformation ...
