In particular, one might learn something about thekind of perturbations that are necessary to initiate motions of thetype observed, and under what circumstances the motions can bemaintained.In carrying out the derivation of the differential equations of ourtheory according to the plan outlined above, we calculatenumber ofTheintegrals.-(10.11.27):r6JFromthesehdy=-honwefirstderivebyrjr*(yJi~^differentiations with respect to= oM<5 -n) -*%*>i*nC 68iv x dyJ1= -vx (di_215??'r*Jr\a_other set of relations:Jfirstof these arise from (10.11.26) andii_""x andtan-LONG WAVESINSHALLOW WATER403(In deriving these relations, it is necessary to observe that the lowerlimit T] is a function of x and t.)

The characteristic curves defined byu are taken twice. Thus one sees that the quantity c is indeeddxjdtentitled to be called a propagation speed, and small disturbances canbe expected to propagate with this speed in both directions relative tothe stream of velocity u. (In the theory by Whitham, in which themotion in each vertical plane yconst, is treated separately, the=propagation or sound speed of small disturbances is given by Vkh.The sound speed in the theory given here thus represents a kind ofaverage with respect to y of the sound speeds of Whitham's theory.
)Since the propagation speed depends on the height of the discontinuity surface, it is clear that the possibility of motions leading tobreaking is inherent in this theory.Once the dynamical equations have been formulated in characteristicformitbecomes possible tosee rather easilywhatsort of subsi-diary initial and boundary conditions are reasonable. In fact, thereare many possibilities in this respect.
One such possibility is theit is assumed thatfollowing. At time tconst, (as in a stationary front), but that rj t= 0, h =u = const.,= f(x) over a segment ofr)the r-axis. In other words, it is assumed that a transverse impulse isgiven to the stationary front over a portion of its length.

One might visualize this case as one in which, for example,cold air is being added or withdrawn at a particular point (xin=the present case). This again yields a problem with a uniquely determined solution, and various possibilities are being explored numerically.was stated above that the most objectionable feature of thepresent theory is the assumption of a fixed vertical barrier back of theItThere is, however, a different way of looking at the problem asa whole which may mitigate this restriction somewhat.

One might then consider motions once more that dependand t by getting rid of the dependence on 6same type of assumptions (linear behavior in 0,say) as above. Here the North Pole itself would take the place of thevertical barrier (v0!). The result is again a system of nonlinearthistimewith variable coefficients. Of course, it wouldequationsbe necessary to begin with a stationary flow in which the motion takesessentially only onthrough use of theq>place along the parallels of latitude.All in all, the ideas presented here would seem to yield theoriesflexible enough to permit a good deal of freedom with regard to initialand other conditions, so that one might hope to gain some insight intothe complicated dynamics of frontal motions by carrying out numerical solutions in well-chosen special cases.10.12.

Theycan also be derived readily from first principles, as follows: Assumingthat the hydrostatic pressure law holds and that the fluid starts fromrest (or any other motion in which the vertical component of thevelocity of the water is zero) it follows that the vertical component ofthe velocity remains zero and that u and w are independent of the vertical coordinate.
