A three-dimensional time-dependent model on coastal upwelling

Hu (1979) proposed a two-dimensional, unsteady, homogeneous coastal upwelling model with finite constant depth. Lu and Zhao (1985) extended Hu’s model by specifying a linear bottom slope. A three-dimensional, unsteady, homogeneous, coastal upwelling model on f-plane with arbitrarily linear bottom slope is suggested in this paper as an extension of Lu and Zhao’s model. The solution for such a problem has been obtained, and the properties of upwelling and horizontal current are examined. Contribution No. 1491 from Institute of Oceanology, Academia Sinica
