Can Turbulence Suppress Double-Diffusively Driven Interleaving Completely?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A linear stability problem is formulated to investigate the effect of turbulence on double-diffusively driven thermohaline interleaving in rotating media. Three cases are considered: (a) intrusions with an alongfront slope ...
Rossby Wave-Induced Secondary Flows near Barriers, with Application to the Hawaiian Ridge
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We restudy the reflection of baroclinic Rossby waves from a nonzontal barrier. We add lateral friction to an earlier study by Mysak and Magaard to obtain a more realistic secondary flow near the barrier. Contrary to the ...
Study of Spatial Spectra of Horizontal Turbulence in the Ocean Using Drifter Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The statistics of a pair of Lagrangian particles offer, in principle, a possibility to estimate the structure functions of velocity, then the spatial autocorrelations, and finally the spatial spectra. On the basis of this ...
