Abstract

Coriolis terms are introduced into the equations governing the motion of a finite tidal wave. Various types of solution are found, all of which travel without change of shape and some which are periodic with sharp crests and broad troughs. The classical result that such waves cannot be propagated without change of shape is therefore untrue in these circumstances.
