Abstract: he frontal structure of the Southern Ocean is investigated using the Wavelet/Higher Order Statistics Enhancement (WHOSE) frontal detection method, introduced in Chapman?s work. This methodology is applied to 21 yr of daily ...

Abstract: he interaction of jets with topography in the Southern Ocean is investigated using 19 years of altimetry data. In particular, the ?jet jumping? mode of variability, by which two or more jets passing close to the same ...

Abstract: he authors study intrinsic variability in the position of jets in a ?-plane channel ocean with simple topography using a quasigeostrophic numerical model. This study links the variability in jet position with abyssal ...

Abstract: he mechanisms that initiate and maintain oceanic ?storm tracks? (regions of anomalously high eddy kinetic energy) are studied in a wind-driven, isopycnal, primitive equation model with idealized bottom topography. Storm ...

Abstract: Low-frequency variability in the south Indian Ocean is studied by analyzing 200 years of output from a fully coupled climate model simulation. At time scales of 2–10 years, the variability is dominated by westward-propagating ...
