Dynamics of Forced Coastal Trapped Disturbances

Abstract

Numerical and analytical models have been developed and analyzed to study the dynamics of linear and nonlinear coastal-trapped disturbances (CTDs) in the marine atmospheric boundary layer, and the interaction of CTDs with coastal orography and with orographically-modified ambient winds.
