Abstract: An analytic theory is presented for free, barotropic Kelvin waves subject to constant, vertical eddy viscosity on a semi-infinite, f-plane shelf of constant depth bordering a straight, vertical coast. A coastal boundary ...

Abstract: We study theoretically the effects of linear (Rayleigh) friction on free internal waves in the equatorial wayeguide. The waves may be vertically propagating or in standing vertical modes. Analytic solutions on a beta-plane ...

Abstract: The behavior of a barotropic Rossby wave in a zonal current is studied theoretically using a beta-plane ocean of constant depth in which the current depends only on latitude. The wave may be reflected or absorbed, depending ...

Abstract: On 10 August 1976 Hurricane Belle passed rapidly over the highly stratified shelf of the New York Bight. Records from Aanderaa current-meter moorings show that the response to the hurricane depended strongly on bathymetry. ...

Abstract: A major difficulty in investigating the nature of interdecadal variability of climatic time series is their shortness. An approach to this problem is through comparison of models. In this paper a first-order autoregressive ...

Abstract: Instrumental surface air temperature (SAT) records beginning in the late 1800s from 59 Arctic stations north of 64°N show monthly mean anomalies of several degrees and large spatial teleconnectivity, yet there are systematic ...

Abstract: The harmonic constant datum (HCD) method is a computationally efficient way of estimating tidal datums relative to mean sea level, without the need to compute long time series. However, datum discontinuities can occur ...

Abstract: A theoretical study was carried out to understand how the probability distribution for maximum wave heights (?m) during tsunamis depends on the initial tsunami amplitude (A) and the tides. It was assumed that the total ...

Abstract: This study describes winter climate during the last 500 yr for the greater Baltic Sea region through an examination of well-documented time series of ice cover, sea level pressure, and winter surface air temperatures. These ...
