Abstract: This article aims to advance the understanding of inherent randomness in geophysical fluids by considering the particular example of baroclinic shear flows that are spatially uniform in the horizontal directions and aperiodic ...

Abstract: There is much interest in better understanding the westward-propagating subinertial signal in the ocean basins because it influences many aspects of the ocean?s circulation. One explanation for the origin of this signal ...

Abstract: his work investigates the instability of a two-layer Bickley jet in the context of the rotating shallow water (RSW) model. This provides a general context in which the instability of oceanographic jets with simple ...

Abstract: The instability of jets in the context of the shallow-water model for both quasigeostrophic (QG) and non-QG parameters is studied. First, the linear stability problem is solved for a wide range of Rossby and Froude numbers ...

Abstract: In this article, the effect shelflike topography has on the stability of a jet that flows along the smooth shelf is addressed. The linear stability problem is solved to determine for which nondimensional parameters a shelf ...

Abstract: n situ measurements obtained during the 2010 COUPLING cruise were analyzed in order to fully characterize the velocity structure of the coastal Bransfield Current. An idealized two-layer shallow-water model was used to ...
