Abstract: The equation governing the zonally averaged meridional circulation (W?, v? in spherical-sigma coordinates is formulated including the semigeostrophic terms. This equation and the mass continuity equation are spectrally ...

Abstract: A version of the Naval Research Laboratory Limited Area Dynamical Weather Prediction Model is coupled with the DieCAST ocean circulation model, which is particularly well suited for the specification of realistic bathymetry. ...

Abstract: Experiments were performed in a rotating, differentially heated annulus, with and without bottom topography of azimuthal wavenumber 2. Both water and a viscous glycerol-water mixture were used as a working fluid. In one ...
