Abstract: An EOF analysis of current meter data collected on the North West Shelf of Australia (NWS) suggested that the major part of the low-frequency (subinertial) circulation on the shelf was wind force. The circulation appeared ...

Abstract: The scattering of dispersive, barotropic, coastally-trapped waves by narrowing and widening shelves is investigated. The shelves considered maintain a shelf-similar exponential shape. For such shelves, previous investigators ...

Abstract: This paper is an examination of the wind-forced circulation on continental shelves with bottom friction. Since the response is integrally dependent on the cross-shelf structures and dispersion characteristics of continental ...

Abstract: In this study, the wind-driven circulation of the North West Shelf of Australia is examined. Along its length, the offshore distance to the 200 m isobath is generally greater than 150 km, which means the shelf is relatively ...

Abstract: The determination of baroclinic coastal-trapped wave modes reduces to an eigenvalue problem quadratic in the eigenvalue if the long-wave assumption is not made. This problem can be expressed as a linear eigenvalue problem ...
