Abstract: his study aims to understand the ocean?s circulation, which is characterized by the presence of multiple alternating zonal jets and transient mesoscale eddies, by systematic analysis of the underlying linear dynamics of ...

Abstract: everal turbulent flow regimes of an idealized ocean circulation model are systematically analyzed in physical and spectral domains. Zonal dispersion properties of transient mesoscale eddies are described by the zonal ...

Abstract: Multiple alternating zonal jets observed in the ocean are studied with an idealized quasigeostrophic zonal-channel model, with the supercritical, zonal background flow imposed. Both eastward and westward background flows ...

Abstract: his paper explores stability of and transport by baroclinic vortices on the ? plane using a two-layer, quasigeostrophic model. The study adapts a wave?mean flow formalism and examines interactions between the axisymmetric ...

Abstract: The Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC) is an important part of the earth's climate system. Previous research has shown large uncertainties in simulating future changes in this critical system. The simulated THC response ...
