Abstract: detailed energy analysis of the barotropic and baroclinic M2 tides in the Monterey Bay area is performed. The authors first derive a theoretical framework for analyzing internal tide energetics based on the complete form ...

Abstract: A comparison of three common formulations for calculating the available potential energy (APE) in internal wave fields is presented. The formulations are the perturbation APE (APE1), the exact local APE (APE2), and its ...

Abstract: detailed energetics analysis of the Gulf Stream (GS) and associated eddies is performed using a high-resolution multidecadal regional ocean model simulation. The energy equations for the time-mean and time-varying flows ...

Abstract: AbstractThe seasonal cycles of the mean kinetic energy (MKE) and eddy kinetic energy (EKE) are compared in an idealized flow as well as in a realistic simulation of the Gulf Stream (GS) region based on three commonly used ...

Abstract: he seasonal variability of the mean kinetic energy (MKE) and eddy kinetic energy (EKE) of the Gulf Stream (GS) is examined using high-resolution regional ocean model simulations. A set of three numerical experiments with ...

Abstract: AbstractThe energetics of eddy?mean flow interactions along two western boundary currents of the North Pacific, the Kuroshio and Ryukyu Currents, are systematically investigated using 22 years of numerical data from the ...
