Abstract: | Within the framework of the linear theory of long waves, we perform the numerical investigation of transformations of a barotropic
diurnal tide in the process of its motion from the deepwater region of the sea into the region of continental slope and shelf
zone at any angle to the coast line. For a linear profile of the bottom of the continental slope and shelf, we establish dependences
of the amplitudes and velocities of waves on the direction of propagation of the tidal wave and the latitude of the place.
