User's Manual for the Computer Program ZMODE Ocean Waves and Wakes

Abstract

The computer program ZMODE computes the eigenfunctions and dispersion relations for internal wave oscillations in a density-stratified ocean thermocline. The computation is rapid and reliable, owing to a procedure which obtains very accurate trial eigenvalues by exploiting certain analytic properties of the differential eigenfunction equation. This document describes in detail the analytic procedures and program structure, and provides complete operating instructions.
