Abstract: The evolution and propagation of Gulf Stream warm core rings in a flat-bottom, ?-plane ocean are studied using a three-dimensional primitive equation model. Rings are produced by a heat source that is turned on and off ...

Abstract: Numerical experiments were carried out to simulate the generation of topographic waves by a Gulf Stream ring over the continental margin in a stratified ocean on an f-plane. The study was aimed at understanding the combined ...

Abstract: Initialization and development of cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies under the influence of a frictional surface, as with Arctic eddies under ice cover, are examined both analytically and numerically using a three-dimensional ...

Abstract: The propagation of linear barotropic Rossby waves is investiaged numerically over a one-dimensional topography similar to the continental rise and slope. A point source is used to generate waves with periods from 4 to 36 ...

Abstract: The lateral injection of dense outflow into an Arctic baroclinic current though a submarine canyon is examined using a three-dimensional nonhydrostatic numerical model. The oceanographic setting in this model retains ...

Abstract: Current meter data taken during a one-year period over the continental slope and upper rise in three cross-isobath sections have been examined for energy distribution, coherence, and phase propagation of topographic waves. ...

Abstract: Ocean responses to a single brine source under ice and over a sloping bottom are investigated in numerical experiments. Brine sources considered herein are often much stronger than that anticipated from a single seawater ...

Abstract: Downstream velocity relative to the axis of the Gulf Stream is examined through the use of data from SOFAR floats. The speed calculated from the position of the floats along constant pressure surfaces is expressed in terms ...

Abstract: Steady drift of an ice cover produces a vertically sheared current in the upper ocean of the Arctic. Under the ice cover, mesoscale shallow brine and freshening sources generate submerged anticyclones and cyclones, ...

Abstract: Bottom water movement on the continental shelf is modeled by the nonlinear interaction between long-shore bottom geostrophic flow and the density field. Bottom geostrophic velocity, subject to linear steady momentum equations ...
