Abstract: It was shown by Oliger and Sundström, in 1978, that the initial boundary value problems for the hydrostatic primitive equations of meteorology and oceanography are ill posed if the boundaries are open and fixed in space. ...

Abstract: Numerical models are one of the most important theoretical tools in atmospheric research, and the development of numerical techniques specifically designed to model the atmosphere has been an important discipline for many ...

Abstract: Successive bifurcations?from steady states through periodic to aperiodic solutions?are studied in a shallow-water, reduced-gravity, 2½-layer model of the midlatitude ocean circulation subject to time-independent wind stress. ...

Abstract: The time-dependent wind-driven ocean circulation is investigated for both a rectangular and a North Atlantic?shaped basin. Multiple steady states in a 2½-layer shallow-water model and their dependence on various parameters ...
