Abstract
The equations of motion for fluid flow in a shallow circular ocean centred at the North Pole are considered. Small amplitude wave motions in the ocean are governed by a complicated two-point boundary-value problem that has been solved approximately using a combination of asymptotic and numerical methods. Here we point out that the problem admits two families of exact closed-form solutions: one set of solutions can be expressed in terms of associated Legendre functions while the other can be written in simple algebraic form.
