Internal Tide Generation by Steep Topography

Abstract

The purpose of this proposal was to support Dr. Eric Kunze, Applied Physics Laboratory, University of Washington (now at University of Victoria) and Dr. Pascale Lelong (via a subcontract to Northwest Research Associates, Seattle, Washington) to numerically explore an alternative solution method to Baines' (1982) internal tide generation theory for arbitrary 1-D topography h(x). The solution method uses characteristic coordinates along which signals of frequency omega propagate.
