Abstract: As a meandering current changes its curvature vorticity, the lateral shear, the shearing deformation, the vertical shear, and the lateral temperature gradient also change. Changes in these parameters, together with their ...

Abstract: The evidences for and the mechanism of a negative curvature bias in the Florida Current off Miami are presented. The evidences consist of a re-examination of the data and tests by Schmitz (1969) and Stubbs (1971). Three ...

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 ...

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 ...
