Abstract: The development of a pointwise (in the horizontal) energy diagnostic scheme applicable to a 1½-layer, nonisopycnic, primitive equation model is presented. The scheme utilizes the concept of available gravitational energy ...

Abstract: A coupled ice-ocean model for thermodynamic growth of sea ice suitable for coupling with a similar dynamic model is considered. The model is balanced locally in that no horizontal (or vertical) advection or diffusion of ...

Abstract: Considered is a pointwise energy diagnostic scheme for a multilayer, primitive equation, nonisopycnic ocean model. Both conservative as well as nonconservative energy exchange terms are considered. Moreover, the scheme is ...

Abstract: Considered are the capabilities of a recently developed pulse-to-pulse coherent sonar called the High Resolution Current Profiler (HRCP). Special emphasis is placed on methods whereby reliable and accurate vertical profiles ...

Abstract: A linear stability analysis combined with an energy analysis is performed to discriminate between the various instabilities that may develop at upwelling fronts. In the present study, a two-active-layer model of finite ...
