| Abstract: | Abstract The vorticity field induced by a topography in a homogeneous rotating fluid bounded by a free-surface is investigated. It is found that the integrated strength of the topographically bound vortex is zero and that the volume of the free-surface perturbations is equal to the volume of the topography. |
