Mathematical approaches to the physics of mesoscale oceanography

Early, Jeffrey J. (2009-12-17)

The long-term evolution of Gaussian eddies is studied in an equivalent barotropic model using both linear and nonlinear quasi-geostrophic theory in an attempt to understand westward propagating satellite altimetry tracke ...
Quantifying linear disturbance growth in periodic and aperiodic systems

Wolfe, Christopher Lee (2006-10-06)

The mathematical and physical connections between three different ways of quantifying linear predictability in geophysical fluid systems are studied in a series of analytical and numerical models. Normal modes, as they a ...
