Influence of bottom topography on cross-shelf circulation forced by time dependent wind
… disturbances and, in particular, Barotropic Shelf Waves (BSW) result. That gives rise to the offshore currents. The amplitude of the cross-channel flow is shown to increase with kT in the long wave limit (order of 100 km in the model) and, in contrast, to decrease with kT in the short wave …

Design sea levels for Southern Africa : a probabilistic approach
… sub continent are primarily affected by tide, shelf waves, wind waves and edge waves. These processes were found to be statistically independent of one another for the areas evaluated. Design sea level would appear to be determined by a combination of a number of moderate magnitude events …

Low Frequency Edge Waves and Their Role In Coastal Dynamics
<p>Low frequency edge waves with large spatial scales represent an important part of the coastal ocean response to tidal and atmospheric forcing. A semidiurnal tide traveling over the continental shelf and slope can be propagated by a Hybrid Kelvin-Edge Wave (HKEW), which is the fundamental mode …
