Abstract
An asymptotic method based upon the ray theory is extended to the study of planetary waves in a fluid of variable depth over the rotating earth. An asymptotic solution involving a phase function and an amplitude function is constructed. Application of the method to the study of wave resonance of a compressible fluid in a rotating spherical shell is considered.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
