Key Equations

$$\eta(r,\theta,t) = A(r)\cos(\omega t - \theta + \phi_0)$$
$$\frac{\partial v}{\partial t} + fu = -g\frac{\partial \eta}{\partial y} + F_y$$
$$u(t) = U_{\max}\cos(\omega t - \phi_u), \quad v(t) = V_{\max}\cos(\omega t - \phi_v)$$
$$\log_{10}\left(\frac{h}{u^3}\right) \approx 2.7 \text{ (critical value)}$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
