Abstract
In the framework of the linear theory and without using the hydrostatics approximation, we study the wave motions produced by a barotropic tide impinging upon a bottom topography feature in a continuously stratified ocean. Numerical techniques are used to estimate the effects of the stratification and the Coriolis parameter on the tidal flows in the seamount area.
