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.Responsible Editior: Phil Dyke
