Abstract: hree strategies were compared for extrapolating surface geostrophic velocities to below the surface: S1, using only the barotropic or first baroclinic mode; S2, using a fixed or ?phase locked? linear combination of the ...

Abstract: uadratic bottom boundary layer drag is a potentially significant source of energy dissipation in the deep ocean. This study presents a new estimate of the energy dissipated by this process, using results from the world?s ...
