Abstract: Effects of rotation on finite-length line plumes are studied with a three-dimensional nonhydrostatic numerical model. Geophysical convection with this source geometry occurs, for example, as the result of fissure releases ...

Abstract: The decay of mesoscale eddies can be attributed to either frictional dissipation of kinetic energy through viscous effects or through dispersive spreading of the different constituent Rossby wave components at their own ...
