Abstract
Only water motion for which the orbital velocity is horizontal and uniform in each vertical column is considered. If there is nonlinear bottom stress, then any mode will be influenced by all other barotropic motions present, the most important of which is the forced tide. In order that all free modes decay, the forced tide must have a unique, conditionally stable solution in the Liapounoff sense....
