The western tropical Pacific is thought to be an important zone for generating EL Nino : reflections at the boundary make it a potential source region of equatorial Kelvin waves. Calculations of the effect of a gappy western boundary on the reflection process are carried out in the framework of the low frequency limit of the shallow water equations and are highly idealized. The method is also applied to a schematic version of the flow through the indonesian seas from the western Pacific to the Indian oceans.
