Geostrophic Departure, Local Turning, Speed Change, and Eddy Flux: A New Perspective
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Conjunctions of meander passages and cross-stream eddy momentum fluxes are common in western boundary currents. To explore the mechanism linking them, we offer a diagnostic equation of their time-dependent motions. The ...
The Half-Inertial Flow in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific: A Case Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We address the problem of the oscillatory periods of two observed phenomena in the instability zone in the eastern equatorial Pacific. The first case concerns two high-speed anticyclonic flow with periods of approximately ...
