The wave lengths are determined to be 312 m in deep water and 200 m over the continental shelf. What is the shelf depth? (The answer posted for this question was incorrect.)2) Suppose that on the 500-hpa surface the relative vorticity at a certain location at 45º N latitude is increasing at a rate of 3 x 10-6 s-¹ per 3 hrs. The wind is from the southwest at 20 m/s and the relative vorticity decreases toward the northeast at a rate of 4 x 10-6 s-¹ per 100 km. Use the quasi- geostrophic vorticity equation to estimate the horizontal divergence at this location on a ß-plane.
