TL;DR: In this article, the propagation of gravity waves over a basin in which the propagation distance is large compared with the scale of the bottom topography, which, in turn, is large with the depth.
Abstract: This is a study of the propagation of gravity waves over a basin in which the propagation distance is large compared with the scale of the bottom topography, which, in turn, is large compared with the depth. Special emphasis is given to the low-frequency part of the spectrum and to geometries containing a beach (see figure 1) because of their importance in tidal wave phenomena. Both reflexion phenomena and the dispersive character of the propagation are accounted for and the non-linear aspects of the large amplification associated with the beach climbing are also included. However, the analysis of problems in which the waves break is valid only up to the inception of breaking; post-breaking phenomena are not treated.

TL;DR: A Symposium on Rotating fluid systems was held at La Jolla, California from 28 March to 1 April 1966 as mentioned in this paper, which was organized under the auspices of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics.
Abstract: A symposium on ‘Rotating fluid systems’ was held at La Jolla, California, from 28 March to 1 April 1966. The meeting was organized under the auspices of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, and took place at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics of the University of California. There were 75 participants, and attendance was by invitation. The subjects discussed included steady flows, both thermally driven and non-thermal; transient motions and instabilities; planetary waves and gravity waves affected by rotation; inertial oscillations; and hydromagnetic flows relating to the Earth's interior. The following is a brief account of the proceedings as seen by the authors. No formal volume of the papers presented is to be published, but references to published or unpublished work are given at the end of this article.

TL;DR: The description of the response to an incident stress pulse of an infinite elastic solid with a hole or obstruction requires very extensive calculations as discussed by the authors, and even the gross features of such a response are described in detail.
