Abstract: The authors use numerical simulations of the shallow-water equations to study the generation of coastally trapped waves by localized forcing mechanisms. The model parameters are chosen to be typical for coastal ocean ...

Abstract: In 1983 Tropical Cyclone Jane crossed the North West Coast of Australia generating a storm surge. Currents associated with this storm surge were recorded at two offshore moorings south of the cyclone track. The data from ...

Abstract: Although the overflow and descent of cold, dense water across the Greenland?Iceland?Scotland ridge is the principal means for the maintenance of the thermohaline circulation in the North Atlantic Ocean, this feature is not ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional numerical model of the shallow-water equations, with a modified Orlanski-type radiation boundary condition, is applied to study storm surges and tides on the North Queensland coast. The numerical simulations ...
