contents Bulk-edge correspondence is a cornerstone in topological physics, establishing a connection between the number of unidirectional edge modes in physical space and a Chern number, an integer that counts phase singularities of the eigenmodes in parameter space. In continuous media, violation of this correspondence has been reported when some of the frequency wavebands are unbounded, resulting in weak topological protection of chiral edge states. Here, we propose a strategy to reestablish strong bulk-edge correspondence in incompressible rotating stratified flows, taking advantage of a natural cutoff frequency provided by density stratification. The key idea involves the introduction of an auxiliary field to handle the divergence-free constraint. This approach highlights the resilience of internal coastal Kelvin waves near vertical walls under varying boundary conditions.
