Abstract: A model for the effect of a localized topographic irregularity on a barotropic sheared current flowing along a continental margin with shallow water to the left of the current is developed. The topographic irregularity is ...

Abstract: The effects of surface buoyancy flux. atmospheric wind stress and bottom topography on the horizontal and vertical structure of the density and alongshore velocity fields over a continental shelf are investigated within ...

Abstract: A linear, two-dimensional model of a rotating, stratified fluid is constructed to investigate the circulation induced by a moving, localized line of surface stress. This model is used to analyze the effect of moving cold ...

Abstract: A model for the scattering of a continental shelf wave by a small, isolated and smooth topographic irregularity is developed. It is found that a wave of frequency ?, incident on a bump of a sufficiently small horizontal ...
