Abstract: A linear equivalent barotropic (EB) model is applied to study the effects of the bottom topography H and baroclinicity on the total transport and the position of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). The model is based ...

Abstract: The usefulness of the concept of JEBAR, the joint effect of baroclinicity and relief, in large-scale ocean dynamics is critically analyzed. The authors address two questions. Does the JEBAR term properly characterize the ...

Abstract: A series of numerical experiments with a two-layer primitive equation model is presented to study the dynamics of Agulhas eddies. The main goal of the paper is to examine the influence of an underwater meridional ridge ...
