On the reflection and transmission of low frequency energy at the irregular western Pacific boundary : a preliminary report | Western Pacific international meeting and workshop on Toga Coare : proceedings

Clarke, A.J.
The western boundary of the tropical Pacific is not continuous and leakage of low frequency energy from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean is possible. At low frequencies equatorial Kelvin and Rossby waves have very large east-west scales compared with the east-west scale of the land masses in the region. Consequently, these land masses may be treated as islands that are infinitesimally thin in the east-west direction. By generalizing previous theory for a single island, the leakage of low frequency energy through the seven major "islands" forming the boundary of the western Pacific can be studied.
