| Abstract: | A theory of the coastal Kelvin wave is presented in which the pressure is assumed not to be hydrostatic. The results show that the non-hydrostatic Kelvin wave is dispersive and that the e–1 decay distance of the wave amplitude from the coast decreases as the wave length becomes shorter. Similar conclusions can be drawn on the equatorial Kelvin wave. |
