Abstract
Inertial waves in a channel of finite width consist of two different systems. In the surface layer a suddenly imposed wind produces the same system of Ekman currents and inertial waves as in the open ocean. Besides that the wind produces cross oscillations and a permanent deflection of the sea surface and due to this a geostrophic current. The onset of this geostrophic current is accompanied by a second system of inertial waves which is out of phase by 1800. In the vertically integrated equations the two systems cancel each other.
