Abstract
Abstract Scaling arguments are used to show that effects due to the horizontal component of the Coriolis force should be taken into account as a first correction to the traditional hydrostatic theory, before frequency dispersion due to vertical acceleration and nonlinearity are included. It is shown analytically that wave propagation of the f--plane becomes anisotropic and that amphidromic systems do not exist in their usual definition. Another important consequence is the existence of free wave solutions at subinertial frequencies.
