Abstract: he short answer to the question posed in the title is that it depends on the frame of reference chosen to describe the motions. In the inertial limit, the frequency in a rotating frame of reference corresponds to the ...

Abstract: e perform eddy-resolving and high vertical resolution numerical simulations of the circulation in an idealized equatorial Atlantic Ocean in order to explore the formation of the deep equatorial circulation (DEC) in this ...

Abstract: A complex pattern of zonal currents below the thermocline has been observed in the equatorial Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The currents have typical speeds from 10 to 15 cm s?1 and extend as deep as 2500 m. Their structure ...
