Planetary waves in polar basins: Some exact solutions

The equations of motion for fluid flow in a shallow circular ocean centred at the North Pole are considered. Small amplitude wave motions in the ocean are governed by a complicated two-point boundary-value problem that has been solved approximately using a combination of asymptotic and numerical met...
