Abstract: The forcing of large-scale internal gravity waves by shear-unstable stratified free shear layers is investigated. The gravity wave forcing mechanism considered arises from the nonlinear interaction of unstable modes of ...

Abstract: A case study of a small-scale polar front cyclone observed during the Canadian Atlantic Storms Program (CASP) is presented. The cyclone forms along an essentially two-dimensional front, which is in approximate thermal wind ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional nonhydrostatic ocean model that utilizes finite-element discretizations on structured or unstructured meshes has been formulated. In the current part of this work a first step in the validation of this ...

Abstract: The vast majority of advanced numerical ocean models in use today, while performing extremely well, especially for certain classes of problem, do not necessarily take full advantage of current trends in numerical analysis ...
