Abstract: The velocities used by the original, standard version of the Bryan?Cox model to advect momentum are shown to be inconsistent with the main velocities over steps in the bathymetry. In particular, the vertical shears of the ...

Abstract: The stability of internal baroclinic jets to quasi-geostrophic, normal mode perturbations is studied. Some important aspects are clarified by considering a jet which consists of a baroclinic layer sandwiched between two ...

Abstract: Eady's and Green's baroclinic instability problems are examined in N-level models with 2 ? N ? 180. As N is increased, both the maximum growth rate and the wavelength at which it occurs converge monotonically, without the ...
