Abstract
A discussion is presented of the propagation of trapped waves over continental shelves having the idealized and realistic topography. The emphasis is made on the investigation of influence of the shelf shape and width on the lower modes edge wave parameters. The conclusions were based on the solution of the complete boundary-value problem using the difference approximation algorithms. A three-dimensional model was used to reproduce waves generated on the Turkish coast of Black Sea caused by the climatological wind. The model, simulated sea-level time-series, was subjected to Fast Fourier Transform to compute the power spectral density of water oscillations. It is found that the absolute maximum of the first mode wave takes place near the shore and over the edge of the shelf. Increasing the width of the continental slope leads to slower attenuation of the wave towards the open sea. The most resistant wave processes were computed on the Cape Inceburun.
