The Lagrangian mass transport in the Stokes surface edge wave is obtained from the vertically integrated equations of momentum and mass in a viscous rotating ocean, correct to the second order in wave steepness. The analysis is valid for bottom slope angles β in the interval 0 < β ≤ π/2. Vertically averaged drift currents are obtained by dividing the fluxes by the local depth. The Lagrangian mean current is composed of a Stokes drift (inherent in the waves) plus a mean Eulerian drift current. The latter arises as a balance between the radiation stresses, the Coriolis force, and bottom friction. Analytical solutions for the mean Eulerian current are obtained in the form of exponential integrals. The relative importance of the Stokes drift to the Eulerian current in their contribution to the Lagrangian drift velocity is investigated in detail. For the given wavelength, the Eulerian current dominates for medium and large values of β, while for moderate and small β, the Stokes drift yields the main co...
