A Unifying Perspective on Transfer Function Solutions to the Unsteady Ekman Problem

The unsteady Ekman problem involves finding the response of the near-surface currents to wind stress forcing under linear dynamics. Its solution can be conveniently framed in the frequency domain in terms of a quantity that is known as the transfer function, the Fourier transform of the impulse resp...
