Abstract: The present paper deals with two-dimensional transient upwelling in a two-layer ocean of constant depth. Motions generated by several two-dimensional atmospheric forcings are investigated. Using asymptotic expansions in ...

Abstract: The interaction of a coastal current with a shallow shelf is studied using analytical model and numerical simulations. First, the wave propagations along a steplike bottom topography in a two-layer fluid are investigated. ...

Abstract: The shallow water equations applied to a two-layer ocean are solved in order to study the cited of capes on upwellings. First, analytical solutions of the linearized version of these equations are given for academic right ...

Abstract: Deep-water formation (DWF) in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea and the subsequent horizontal circulation are investigated in a rectangular basin with a three-dimensional primitive equation model. The basin is forced by ...

Abstract: The large-scale processes preconditioning the winter deep-water formation in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea are investigated with a primitive equation numerical model where convection is parameterized by a non-penetrative ...
