Abstract: This study deals with the separation of western boundary currents within a reduced-gravity framework, and it analyzes the formation of eddies in the separation region and the conditions of their shedding into the open ...

Abstract: Numerical experiments are carried out on the f plane, using a shallow-water isopycnal model, to analyze the behavior of a surface-intensified anticyclonic vortex when it encounters an isolated seamount. The advection by ...

Abstract: The possibility for a preexisting surface-intensified anticyclone to subduct beneath a surface front is investigated using an isopycnal numerical model. Subduction occurs for strong coherent vortices and is usually accompanied ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the behavior of a surface-intensified anticyclone encountering a seamount on the ? plane in a stratified ocean. The eddy may be strongly eroded, and sometimes subdivided, provided that it gets close ...
