Abstract Solutions, termed frontal-trapped Rossby waves, have been found for the long-wave equation in a model of a two-layer fluid with the frontal boundary given in the form of an exponential function. Data from a hydrological survey of a subpolar hydrological front in the vicinity of Newfoundland are analysed. A frontal-trapped wave model is shown to describe about 40% of the dispersion of the initial seawater density field.
