Abstract: The two-layer quasigeostrophic model of Holland is modified to include a parameterization of subgrid-scale heat diffusion. Results from a sequence of simple, eddy-resolved calculations illustrate the effects of increasing ...

Abstract: A high resolution, multilevel, primitive equation (PE) model is used to investigate the generation and stability of the Leeuwin Current and eddies off the west coast of Australia. Two numerical experiments are conducted ...

Abstract: The Leeuwin Current strengthens considerably from February to May each year, following the slackening of southerly coastal winds; strong eddies develop. A high-resolution, multilevel, primitive equation ocean model is used ...

Abstract: A high-resolution, multilevel, primitive equation model is initialized with climatological data to investigate the combined effects of wind and thermal forcing on the ocean circulation off Western Australia during the ...
