Abstract: The stability of a stationary baroclinic Rossby wave embedded in a baroclinic zonal flow is investigated in the framework of the two-layer model. This investigation is relevant to the question of mountain-induced cyclogenesis, ...

Abstract: A finite-difference scheme for solving the linear shallow water equations in a bounded domain is described. Its time step is not restricted by a Courant?Friedrichs?Levy (CFL) condition. The scheme, known as Israeli?Naik?Cane ...

Abstract: A scheme is presented for solving the equation for barotropic ocean circulation, taking into account the special character of the problem: nearly inviscid motion following f/H contours in the ocean interior, with viscous ...
