Nonlinear geostrophic adjustment in the presence of a boundary [PDF]
The process of nonlinear geostrophic adjustment in the presence of a boundary (i.e. in a half-plane bounded by a rigid wall) is examined in the framework of a rotating shallow water model, using an asymptotic multiple-time-scale theory based on the assumed smallness of the Rossby number ε.
