100 km) is determined by computing the cross spectrum of daily mean sea level 

 data from two stations bounding this section, the theory can at most predict 

 seasonal current speeds, or the seasonal difference in the current speed be- 

 tween two widely separated regions (distance separation of the order 500 km). 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



I thank Professor A. R. Robinson for introducing me to the subject of con- 

 tinental shelf waves, for many valuable discussions, and for reading this manu- 

 script. This work was jointly supported by the National Science Foundation 

 Grant GP 3533-44-709-7869-2 in oceanic dynamics to Harvard University and a 

 Special Scholarship from the National Research Council of Canada.
