A Representation of Tidal Currents Based on Energy Flux |
|
| Authors: | R F Henry M G G Foreman |
| Abstract: | This article shows that the current associated with a tidal constituent can be represented as the sum of two vectors, one in phase with the surface elevation, the other in quadrature with the elevation. The in-phase component, which accounts for all the mean energy flux, resembles a traveling wave, while the quadrature component has some properties in common with standing waves. |
