Analytical solutions for testing of 3-D baroclinic and wind driven coastal models / by: C. He & P. Hamblin.: En13-5/99-230E-PDF

"It is always challenge for a model developer to verify three dimensional hydrodynamic and transport models, especially for the baroclinic term over variable topography, due to a lack of observational data sets or the availability of suitable analytical solutions. Heat flux through the water surface and wind stress are the two main forces controlling the stratification of a water body. In this paper, exact solutions for periodic forcing by surface heat flux and wind stress, are given by solving the linearized equations of motion in a three dimensional domain neglecting the rotational and horizontal diffusion terms"--Abstract.
