Abstract: his study focuses on the description of an oceanic variant of the Charney baroclinic instability, arising from the joint presence of (i) an equatorward buoyancy gradient that extends from the surface into the ocean interior ...

Abstract: sing numerical simulations forced by a uniform realistic wind time series, the authors show that the presence of a mesoscale eddy field at midlatitudes accelerates the vertical propagation of the wind-forced near-inertial ...
