Waves due to initial disturbances at the inertial surface in a stratified fluid of finite depth

This paper is concerned with a Cauchy-Poisson problem in a weakly stratified ocean of uniform finite depth bounded above by an inertial surface (IS). The inertial surface is composed of a thin but uniform distribution of noninteracting materials. The techniques of Laplace transform in time and eithe...
