Example

For   tex2html_wrap_inline757

tex2html_wrap_inline759

For tex2html_wrap_inline761    (from C-1)  tex2html_wrap_inline763

(shallow water assumption valid)

Check to see if at tex2html_wrap_inline765

Equation (43) may be written in the form:

eqnarray446

So linear theory (shallow water) gives

eqnarray459

Compare with Munk's formula:

eqnarray471
