Abstract

A mathematical model is suggested for calculating current, density, and pressure fields in the area of a solitary bottom rise (seamount). The model is based on a set of non-linear differential equations governing the motion of an inviscid continuously stratified fluid. The algorithm for solving the equations is based on the splitting technique. The model has been used to compute non-linear baroclinic waves generated by a barotropic tide in the seamount area.
