Intergyre transport in a wind-driven, quasigeostrophic double gyre: An application of lobe dynamics

We study the flow obtained from a three-layer, eddy-resolving quasigeostrophic ocean circulation model subject to an applied wind stress curl. For this model we will consider transport between the northern and southern gyres separated by an eastward jet. We will focus on the use of techniques from d...
