Pseudo-spectral approximations of Rossby and gravity waves in a two-Layer fluid

Creator:

Wolfkill, Karlan Stephen

Abstract:

The complexity of numerical ocean circulation models requires careful checking with a variety of test problems. The purpose of this paper is to develop a test problem involving Rossby and gravity waves in a two-layer fluid in a channel. The goal is to compute very accurate solutions to this test...
