Frontal waves in a strait

The slow downstream (x) variation of a dense and inviscid bottom current (u) in a parabolic strait with a sill at y = 0 is investigated. Vanishing potential vorticity is assumed and the density interface in the 1 1/2-layer model intersects the bottom at y = y1 and y = y2 < y1, where the vanishing...
