Abstract: The recently proposed analytical theory of Nof and Pichevin describing the intimate relationship between retroflecting currents and the production of rings is examined numerically and applied to the Agulhas Current. Using ...

Abstract: Summer rainfall on the southeast coast of Africa is shown to be influenced by the proximity and temperature of the adjacent warm Agulhas Current. Student's t-test correlations between coastal rainfall and local sea surface ...

Abstract: Solitary meanders of the Agulhas Current, so-called Natal pulses, may play an important role in the overall dynamics of this current system. Several hypotheses concerning the triggering of these pulses are tested using sea ...
