Abstract

Abstract The initial-value problem of generation of storm surges by any symmetrically distributed and time-periodic surface wind near a circular island with variable topography is solved. The general steady-state motion at any distance is determined, and some of its characteristics are described. Graphical illustrations are provided for a physically plausible wind stress distribution near a conical island.
