Abstract: The effects of compressibility on a stably stratified eastward flow of air over a shallow topography in the beta plane are considered. The incompressible response of the flow to the topography is composed of a barotropic ...

Abstract: A formula for the barotropic Rossby wave drag exerted by an arbitrary shallow topography on a homogeneous eastward flow is obtained under the requirements that U/f0L?1, hM/H=O(U/f0L) and L<LW≡(U/?)½, where U is the speed ...

Abstract: A simple model of time-dependent quasi-geostrophic upwelling over an outer continental shelf and slope region is considered with the velocity assumed independent of the alongshore coordinate The flow is at rest and stably ...

Abstract: The effects of vertical shear on a steady eastward flow of a compressible, stably stratified fluid over a shallow topography in the beta plane are examined using a theory developed earlier by one of the authors (Janowitz, ...

Abstract: An analytical model is developed to describe the steady flow in an estuary-shelf interaction region where the system is treated as a two layer density stratified flow. The motion is expanded in terms of the relative thickness ...
