The Level of No Motion in an Ideal Fluid
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The level of no motion plays a central role in the classical dynamic method and the more advanced diagnostic schemes of the ?-spiral (e.g., Stommel and Schott) and inverse method (Wunsch) to calculate the absolute velocity ...
Wind-Driven Flow over Topography in a Zonal β-Plane Channel: A Quasi-geostrophic Model of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The paper gives a detailed account of the dynamical balance of a wind-driven zonally unbounded flow over topography. The problem is investigated with a quasi-geostrophic ?-plane channel with two layers and eddy resolution. ...
Equilibration and Lateral Spreading of a Strip-Shaped Convective Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors investigate the spreading stage of the deep ocean convection for a strip-shaped convective region to study the law of spreading and sensitivity of the eddy exchange efficiency parameter to the shape of the ...
