Abstract: The effect of a uniform geostrophic current on barotropic inertia-gravity waves in a shallow-water channel model is studied. Numerically obtained normal modes are compared with analytical results for Kelvin, Poincar and ...

Abstract: Asymptotic solutions, to first order, are found for linearized, shallow water, inertia-gravity (Kelvin and Poincaré) waves in a zonal channel for two different cases in which the environment varies linearly with latitude: ...

Abstract: A shallow-water channel model on an f plane is used to study the interaction of barotropic inertia-gravity normal modes and geostrophic currents. Computed numerically are 1) the normal modes associated with a, zonal current, ...
