Abstract: In order to describe aspects of the baroclinic dynamics in the region of the Strait of Sicily a high-resolution multilayer numerical model has been implemented in a central Mediterranean region including the Tyrrhenian and ...

Abstract: Aspects of the dynamics of warm-core eddies evolving in a deep ocean are investigated using the results of laboratory experiments and numerical simulations. The vortices, produced experimentally in a system brought to solid ...

Abstract: New analytical nonstationary circular eddy solutions of the nonlinear, reduced-gravity shallow-water equations in a multilayer stratified rotating ocean are presented. The new solutions extend previous ?pulson? analytical ...

Abstract: A set of new analytical nonstationary solutions of the nonlinear, reduced-gravity shallow-water equations on an f plane in a vertically stably stratified active environment is presented. The solutions, which describe the ...

Abstract: For the first time, an analytical theory and a very high-resolution, frontal numerical model, both based on the unsteady, nonlinear, reduced-gravity shallow water equations on a ? plane, have been used to investigate aspects ...

Abstract: The analysis of high-resolution oceanographic data referring to velocity measurements carried out by means of a vessel-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler on 12 November 2000 in the equatorial Atlantic, at 44°W between ...

Abstract: Aspects of the decay of stable frontal warm-core eddies in the deep ocean are investigated using a new numerical layered ?frontal? model that solves the nonlinear, reduced-gravity, shallow-water equations for a horizontally ...

Abstract: Intrinsic oscillations of stable geophysical surface frontal currents of the unsteady, nonlinear, reduced-gravity shallow-water equations on an f plane are investigated analytically and numerically. For frictional (Rayleigh) ...

Abstract: The horizontal and vertical structure of large-amplitude internal solitary waves propagating in stratified waters on a continental shelf is investigated by analyzing the results of numerical simulations and in situ ...

Abstract: We investigated the scaling properties of two datasets of the observed near-surface global temperature data anomalies: the Met Office and the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit HadCRUT4 dataset and the NASA ...
