In this paper the diffraction of a planetary wave by a semi-infinite plate of arbitrary inclination is investigated using a β-plane approximation. The Wiener-Hopf technique is used to obtain an integral representation of the solution and an asymptotic description of the diffracted wave is obtained by the method of steepest descent.
