Topographic sideband of an internal gravity wave (source code)

= Topographic sideband of an internal gravity wave

Reflection from periodic topography couples an incident horizontal wavenumber $k$ to sidebands $k+jk_T$. Expanding the impermeability condition on a boundary of small amplitude $h_0$ produces the $j=\pm1$ sidebands at order $h_0$ and the $j=0,\pm2$ corrections at order $h_0^2$.
