Abstract: The authors discuss laboratory experiments that elucidate the mechanism of formation and westward drift of anticyclonic baroclinic vortices from a buoyant surface current flowing along a lateral boundary and around a cape. ...

Abstract: AbstractAn earlier study indicates that the side melting of icebergs subject to vertically homogeneous horizontal velocities is controlled by two distinct regimes, which depend on the melt plume behavior and produce a ...

Abstract: A density-driven current was generated in the laboratory by releasing dense fluid over a sloping bottom in a rotating freshwater system. The behavior of the dense fluid descending the slope has been investigated by ...
