Abstract: A theory for the generation of coastal-trapped waves (CTWs) by an oscillatory coastal flux through a strait is extended so as to make velocity, pressure and energy flux everywhere continuous. This development is achieved ...

Abstract: Some confusion in the nature and difference between absolute and relative diffusion is found in the work of Kao and Al-Gain (1968) and Kirwan et al. (1978). It is shown that the relative diffusion analysis used by these ...

Abstract: The potential and kinetic energy spectra following geostrophic adjustment of a barotropic fluid are determined as functions of the spectrum of arbitrary initial sea level or velocity. Remarkably, the functional dependences ...

Abstract: A numerical study is made of the dynamics of the circulation that arises from forcing by a steady, uniform alongshore wind over a uniform zonal shelf in the Southern Hemisphere. The results show that most of the upwelling ...

Abstract: Three months of coincident sea-level and current meter data collected during the autumn of 1984 is analyzed so as to determine the relative importance of local wind stress and coastal-trapped waves (CTWs), incident from ...

Abstract: For the first time, a high-resolution regional model is developed for the slope and shelf circulation within the Great Australian Bight and for the Gulfs region of South Australia. The results indicate the extent, nature, ...

Abstract: A high-resolution numerical model is used to study the mean wintertime shelf-slope circulation between the Gulfs of South Australia and the west coast of Tasmania. The mean downwelling-favorable winds for the region result ...

Abstract: A study is made of the dynamics of slope currents that arise from a steady, constant alongshore wind over a uniform shelf. Over the first 10?20 days, the evolution of the downwelled system on an f plane is qualitatively ...

Abstract: The scattering of coastal-trapped waves (CTWs) by a region of irregular shelf bathymetry is determined from a circulation integral of the depth-integrated momentum equations. For relatively weak stratification the conservation ...
