Abstract
Abstract A broad shelf is separated from deep water by the sudden change in gradient at the shelf break. The flow is driven by a surface shear stress and a shear layer forms at the edge of the shelf. The transport in the current over the shelf is proportional to the strength of the surface shear stress and to the change in gradient at the shelf break but inversely proportional to the depth of the shelf. The flow is described in terms of a shallow shelf sea driven by wind stress.
