A numerical model investigation of tides and diurnal-period continental shelf waves along Vancouver island

A numerical model study of the tidal regime west of Vancouver Island is presented. The model employed is a nonlinear barotropic two-dimensional tidal model incorporating realistic bathymetry. The M sub(2) and K sub(1) constituents are examined and comprehensive comparisons between computed and obser...

Zusammenfassung:	A numerical model study of the tidal regime west of Vancouver Island is presented. The model employed is a nonlinear barotropic two-dimensional tidal model incorporating realistic bathymetry. The M sub(2) and K sub(1) constituents are examined and comprehensive comparisons between computed and observed elevations and currents are given.
