On the shelf resonances of the English Channel and Irish Sea

[摘要] The resonances of the English Channel and Irish Sea are investigated usingthe methods of Webb (2012a) together with an Arakawa C-grid model of theregion under study. In the semi-diurnal tidal band, the high tides of theBristol Channel and Gulf of St. Malo are shown to be due to two shelfresonances which strongly couple the two regions. In the diurnal band, theresponse is complicated by the presence of continental shelf waves.
