| Zusammenfassung |
| Some theoretical concepts about the
frictionless dynamics of propagation of the barotropic tide over two-dimensional
continental slopes of arbitrary shape are developed. A numerical procedure which
generalizes the exact solution obtained over a rectilinear sloping topography is
given. This technique can be applied to compute the harmonic components of the
barotropic tide everywhere over sloping bottom contours of any shape. It permits
in particular the avoidance of discontinuities at the boundaries of
rectilinear-continental-slope profiles. The barotropic tidal results are used
afterwards to calculate the barotropic forcing for the generation of internal
tides. Numerical experiments are performed to study the interaction between the
tide and some typical sloping topographies. A three-layered model is used for
this purpose. Results are compared with those previously obtained over a
rectilinear continental slope. |
