Abstract: AbstractMotivated by the key role of western boundary currents in shaping water mass distribution and gyre water exchanges, this study characterizes mixing in an idealized western boundary current jet using a barotropic ...

Abstract: ow-frequency oceanic motions have banded structures termed ?striations.? Since these striations embedded in large-scale gyre flows can have large amplitudes, the authors investigated the effect of mean flow on their ...

Abstract: he assumption that local baroclinic instability dominates eddy?mean flow interactions is tested on a global scale using a dynamically consistent eddy-permitting state estimate. Interactions are divided into local and ...

Abstract: he amplitude, origin, and direction of striations in the subtropical gyre are investigated using simulated and analytical multidimensional spectra. Striations, defined as banded structures in the low-frequency motions, ...

Abstract: nsight into the global ocean energy cycle and its relationship to climate variability can be gained by examining the temporal variability of eddy?mean flow interactions. A time-dependent version of the Lorenz energy diagram ...

Abstract: The paper describes the application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in simulating density wave oscillations in triangular and square pitch rod bundles. The FLUENT code is used for this ...

Abstract: igh spatial resolution isopycnal diffusivities are estimated in the Kuroshio Extension (KE) region (28°?40°N, 120°?190°E) from a global ° Parallel Ocean Program (POP) simulation. The numerical float tracks are binned using ...
