Abstract: The parametric representation of buoyancy and momentum transport by baroclinic eddies in a primitive equation ?? plane? channel is studied through a transformation of the governing equations. Adoption of the?transformed ...

Abstract: A simple theory is presented for the buoyancy anomaly and depth of penetration of a warm lens created by a surface buoyancy flux and Ekman pumping in an initially homogeneous, rotating fluid. It is assumed that the overturning ...
