Abstract: A computational scheme for calculating transfer functions is prepared, which gives much improved numerical stability and smoothness compared with previous studies. Besides, a detailed analysis is made of the kernel function, ...

Abstract: Abyssal circulation around a sea mountain and a depression in a midlatitude basin is investigated with a reduced-gravity model characterized by vertical and horizontal diffusion of both momentum and density. Above either ...

Abstract: A diffusive reduced-gravity model is applied to the deep circulation over a diversity of idealized bottom topography such as a basinwide uniform slope, a Gaussian sea mountain, or their complex. Although different circulations ...

Abstract: An investigation based on the expansion in terms of diffusive vertical modes is made on the effect of an isolated seamount on the three-dimensional structure of thermohaline circulation driven by an inflow of deep water. ...
