Abstract: The assumption that the Antarctic polar front is a quasi-material frontal surface that separates the Antarctic from the warm ocean gives an estimate of 8 cm per year of upwelling and 0.4 cm2 s?1 of vertical diffusivity in ...

Abstract: A scale analysis indicates that the cross-axial component of the vorticity equation reduces to a two-term expression: a buoyancy gradient term and a term involving the depth-derivative of the shear stress. We have computed ...
