Frictional effects on trapped shelf waves

Abstract

This paper revisits models of coastal trapped waves and examines them with the inclusion of friction. In addition we use a numerical method which at least theoretically will have enhanced accuracy. The model has continuous stratification and variable depth. It is linear, quasigeostrophic and hydrostatic, and utilizes perturbation from this fundamental state. The model is applied with both idealized and realistic topography and stratification.

Wave trapping and flow around an irregular near circular island in a stratified sea

“…Here most work has been concentrated on the behaviour of waves trapped against the continental slope, see Wang and Mooers (1976), Brink and Chapman (1987), the reviews of Brink (1991), Csanady (1997), Zoakos et al (2004). In Brink (1999) the trapped wave numerical method established in Brink and Chapman (1987) was applied to an island (Bermuda).…”
