Abstract: In this paper we suggest that the longevity of the enhanced predictability periods often observed in the weather and general circulation models can he quantified by a study of the statistical moments of error growth rates ...

Abstract: The applicability of the super-slip boundary condition in wind-driven quasigeostrophic ocean circulation models is reexamined. The energy and enstrophy characteristics of the super-slip condition are discussed for the ...

Abstract: The evolution of a coastal current as it encounters an escarpment depends strongly on whether the geometry of the coast and escarpment is right or left ?handed,? independent of the direction of the coastal current. Handedness ...
