The last one or two decades have witnessed an increased interest in
to pographic Rossby waves, both from a theoretical computational as
well as an observational point of view. However, even though long
periodic pro cesses were observed in lakes and ocean basins with
considerable detail, it appears that interpretation in terms of
physical models is not suffi ciently conclusive. The reasons for
this lack in understanding may be sought both, in the insufficient
spatial resolution or the brevity of the time series of the
available data and the inadequacy of the theoretical understanding
of long periodic oscillating processes in lakes and ocean bays.
Advancement will emerge from intensified studies of both aspects,
but it is equally our believe that the understanding of long
per'iodic oscillations in lakes is presently likely to profit most
from a theore tical-computational study of topographic Rossby waves
in enclosed basins. With this tractate we aim to provide the reader
with the basic concepts of wave motion in shallow waters at
subinertial frequencies. Our ques tions throughout this monogra h
are essentially: How can the solutions to this topographic wave
equation in a prescribed idealized domain be construced; what are
the physical properties of these solutions; are their features
identifiable by observations; how reliable are such in
terpretations, etc."
