Summary

The initial-value problem of waves generated by a moving oscillatory surface pressure against a vertical cliff is solved and a uniform asymptotic analysis of the unsteady state is given. The same problem with no cliff is solved by Kaplan, and by Debnath and Rosenblat but their solutions are not uniform.
