Abstract

AbstractThe general forms of the conservation of momentum, temperature and potential vorticity of coastal ocean are obtained in the x–z plane for the non–linear ocean circulation of Boussinesq fluid, and the elliptical partial differential equations of the second order are derived. The solutions to these equations are obtained under the conditions that the fluid moves along the topography. The numerical results show that there exist along coastline both upwelling and downwelling which mainly depend on the large–scale ocean environment. The numerical derived coastal upwelling (downwelling), coastal jet and temperature front zone coincide with the observation very well.
