Abstract: The equation governing the passage of linear monochromatic, long waves over variable topography can be transformed into a Schrödinger equation. There are several transformations accomplishing this. First, a ?naive? ...

Abstract: Persistent reports exist that the tides in coastal basins are often accompanied by regular or irregular oscillations of periods ranging from minutes up to several hours. A conceptual model relating the two is proposed here. ...

Abstract: This study examines quasigeostrophic Rossby eigenmodes of homogeneous as well as stratified oceans. Analytical studies of Rossby basin modes are usually done by using simple basin geometries. Simple means that solutions ...

Abstract: The generation and propagation of internal tides has been studied with an isopycnic three-dimensional ocean model. The response of a uniformly stratified sea in a channel, which is forced by a barotropic tide on its open ...

Abstract: he purpose of this paper is to resolve a confusion that may arise from two quite distinct definitions of ?Doppler shifts?: both are used in the oceanographic literature but they are sometimes conflated. One refers to the ...

Abstract: his study provides a long-term description of the poleward East Madagascar Current (EMC) in terms of its observed velocities, estimated volume transport, and variability based on both ~2.5 yr of continuous in situ measurements ...

Abstract: Near-inertial waves were observed during the Ocean Margin Exchange (OMEX-I) experiments with current meters over the continental slope near Goban Spur. The strongest inertial motion was observed in the bottom layer, about ...
