Abstract: Numerical experiments on the wind-driven ocean circulation in a closed basin show that mesoscale eddiescan appear spontaneously during the integration of the equations of motion for a baroclinic ocean. For somevalues of ...

Abstract: In this investigation the wind-driven ocean circulation theories are extended to include mesoscale eddiesas an integral part of the general circulation of the ocean. A two-layer numerical model of ocean circulationin a ...
