Abstract
The propagation of an oceanic warm front with a coastal jet is discussed from a viewpoint as a shock wave in a rotating stratified fluid. Postulating mass and potential vorticity conservation, the phase speed of the front and the amplitude of the coastal jet are derived and used to explain the phenomenon of “Kyucho” in Sagami Bay of Japan.
