Abstract: Numerical simulations of the propagation of cyclonic Gulf Stream rings are made using a primitive equation ?-plane model of a flat-bottomed two-layer ocean with a rigid lid. Initially circular eddies having, upper and deep ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the tendency for an eastward-propagating modon to form from a mesoscale eddy which has an inclined vertical axis and different senses of rotation in the upper and deep oceans. This scenario, which has ...

Abstract: Numerical simulations have been performed to understand the generation and evolution of mushroom-like patterns observed in remote sensing images of the ocean surface. A two-layer, shallow-water model is employed using a ...

Abstract: This paper deals with flow in a rectilinear channel on a rotating earth. The flow is directed perpendicular to the background planetary vorticity; both an analytical theory and numerical simulations are employed. The ...

Abstract: This work examines the presence of internal-inertial waves in a front in the North Atlantic subtropical convergence zone. Results of Doppler shear profiler and towed thermistor chain surveys are displayed to document the ...
