1. Long baroclinic planetary waves in a nonzonal vertically sheared mean flow

Creator:: Cerovecki, Ivana
Abstract:: We consider long planetary waves of annual period linearized about a steady, wind-driven subtropical (ST) gyre circulation. The circulation divides the gyre into an eastern zone (EZ) where only the surface layer is in steady motion and a western zone (WZ) where both the surface and the middle layer are...

2. Dynamic instability of stratified shear flow in the upper equatorial Pacific

Creator:: Sun, Chaojiao
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: Experiment. A diurnal cycle in the growth rate of shear instability is found, similar to that of the

3. The cross-equatorial structure of tropical instability waves in sea surface height

Creator:: Lyman, John M.
Abstract:: A linearized model with two vertical modes has been developed to understand observed characteristics of monthly variability in the Equatorial Pacific from TOPEX/POSEIDON measurements of Sea Surface Height (SSH). The 2-mode model is obtained from an equatorial beta plane model that has been linearized about a geostrophically balanced mean flow...
