Abstract: We analyze XBT data, collected in the central North Pacific under the NORPAX program (TRANSPAC), by means of inverse methods (cross-spectral fit). We separate the data into two parts: a fluctuation with length scales in ...

Abstract: We derive linear equations for the study of baroclinic instability of a non-zonal oceanic shear flow whose direction is allowed to change with depth. These equations can be used to study unstable disturbances as well as ...
