Abstract
We consider the response of a suddenly imposed wind-stress at the surface of an ocean in a shelf region where the depth vanishes at the coast. When the flow is independent of the co-ordinate along a straight coast-line, a solution is presented in a closed form which reveals a non-uniform space-time behaviour. A case study is presented and comparisons are made with the corresponding numerical solution given by Johnson and Manja.
