Abstract The scattering of coastally trapped waves is described in a particular low frequency limit where the fundamental results are independent of the relative importance of stratification and rotation in the dynamics. Progress is made possible by restricting attention to frequencies small compared to a “profile” frequency, N0H/L that estimates the combined effect of the density and shelf profiles through the product of a typical buoyancy frequency N0 and the average shelf slope (for ocean depth H and shelf width L. Combined with results on the scattering of barotropic shelf waves, the present results describe scattering irrespective of the strength of any stratification provided solely that the frequency of the motion is small compared to either the inertial frequency or the profile frequency. In all cases the transmitted wavefield follows directly by tracing an incident pressure field along coastal isobaths. Strong notification is shown to suppress scattering at all subinertial frequencies, leading to...
