Abstract: Chaotic advection is suggested as a possible mechanism for fluid exchange and mixing among a western boundary current and subbasin recirculation gyres. Applications include the North Atlantic Deep Western Boundary Current ...

Abstract: The continuous dynamical modes of the exchange flow in the Bab al Mandab are computed in an attempt to assess the hydraulic character of the flow at the sill. First, an extended version of the Taylor?Goldstein equation for ...
