TL;DR: In this paper, a set of Matlab mfiles are used to calculate stable, inviscid coastal-trapped wave modal structures and dispersion curves under very general circumstances.
Abstract: This set of Matlab mfiles (all having names that begin with “bigr”) can be used to calculate stable, inviscid coastal-trapped wave modal structures and dispersion curves under very general circumstances. Only a real frequency is allowed, so that instability and damping cannot be accounted for directly, but computations are more efficient than for the general case, long-wave parameters can be computed for first order wave equation calculations (see Brink, 1989), and a more general perturbation decay time (Brink, 1990) can also be obtained. Modal structures and energy diagnostics are provided. Generally speaking, the code is only useful for subinertial wave frequencies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of food web structure and physical context in controlling ecosystem dynamics was analyzed in four shelf ecosystems: upwelling, downwelling and offshore bank, and semi-enclosed basin.

TL;DR: In this paper, the vertical structure is often well described by a vertical mode that has a node of horizontal velocity at the bottom of the ocean current, which is called the vertical mode.
Abstract: Published observations of subinertial ocean current variability show that the vertical structure is often well described by a vertical mode that has a node of horizontal velocity at the bot...
