The shallow water equations on the plane, the sphere, and in the approximation the beta–plane are investigated numerically using the finite element method. It is shown that the semi-implicit time approximation allows to obtain a stable solution in the case of localized initial perturbation of the free surface for a rotating fluid.

Keywords: finite elements, shallow water equations, beta–plane, the perturbation of the free surface
