Abstract
Fully non-linear two-dimensional tidal models of the continental shelf (Flather 1976; Pingree and Griffiths 1980) have been used to examine the physics of tidal propagation on the shelf. Since these models are two dimensional, they give no information on the vertical structure of the tidal currents, and have been mainly used to compute tidal elevations.
