Consider the scattering of long ocean tidal waves by an island taking into account the influence of daily rotation of the Earth, which is modeled by an exterior boundary value problem for the two-dimensional Helmholtz equation with generalized oblique derivative boundary condition. In this paper, we are concerned with a corresponding inverse scattering problem which is to reconstruct the unknown obstacle (island) from the far-field data. After proving the unique solvability of the direct scattering problem in a suitable function space required for our inverse scattering problem, we establish the linear sampling method (LSM) for reconstructing the boundary of the obstacle from the far-field data. To clarify the validity of such a sampling-type method which essentially depends on the solvability of an interior boundary value problem, we show that, except a discrete set of wave numbers, such an interior problem has a unique solution. Finally, some numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the reconstruction scheme.
