Abstract: he dynamics of a forced, low-mode oceanic internal tide propagating poleward on a ? plane are investigated numerically. The focus is on the transfer of energy from the tide to near-inertial oscillations (NIOs) initiated ...

Abstract: Motivated by the tendency of high-Prandtl-number fluids to form sharp density interfaces, the authors investigate the evolution of Holmboe waves in a stratified shear flow through direct numerical simulation. Like their ...

Abstract: The authors consider the flow in a semienclosed sea, or basin, subjected to a destabilizing surface buoyancy flux and separated from a large adjoining reservoir by a sill. A series of numerical experiments were conducted ...

Abstract: A numerical model designed for three-dimensional process studies of rotating, stratified flows is described. The model is freely available, parallel, and portable across a range of computer architectures. The underlying ...

Abstract: oored current and pressure observations were obtained at Bahía Concepción, a semienclosed bay located on the eastern side of the Baja California peninsula in Mexico, to describe the wind-driven subinertial circulation. In ...
