The traditional approximation neglects the horizontal component of the Coriolis, which has its justification in a scaling argument. However, this leaves the effect of the neglected terms unquantified. This paper takes a ...

TIlis study, covering a period of eight months, was undertaken to determine if measurable changes in characteristics occur in sea water passing over a shallow coral reef. The parameters studied include salinity, temperature, ...

The scattering of mode-one M2 internal tides from 1) idealized Gaussian topography and 2) the Line Islands Ridge is examined with a primitive equation numerical model. Internal tide scattering at topography leads to a loss ...
