Abstract: Although the quasigeostrophic formalism has been a cornerstone in oceanographic modeling for over four decades, studies have shown time and time again that other geostrophic, but non-quasigeostrophic, regimes can also ...

Abstract: The evolution and propagation of large anticyclonic eddies similar to the Loop Current eddies found in the Gulf of Mexico are studied in a two-layer intermediate equation numerical model. It is found that the propagation ...

Abstract: A two-layer, intermediate equations model that, uniquely, allows for the intersection of the bathymetry with the layer interface is used to study the interaction of isolated Loop Current Eddy (LCE)-type anticyclones with ...

Abstract: Current and temperature patterns in the Ulleung Basin of the Japan/East Sea are examined using acoustic travel-time measurements from an array of pressure-gauge-equipped inverted echo sounders moored between June 1999 and ...

Abstract: The upper ocean response to idealized surface wind forcing that is representative of conditions observed during the TOGA-COARE Intensive Observation Period is studied by numerical simulations using a second-moment closure ...
