Dynamics of large-amplitude geostrophic flows over bottom topography
We examine the interaction of near-surface and near- bottom flows over bottom topography. A set of asymptotic equations for geostrophic currents in a three-layer fluid is derived. The depths of the active (top/bottom) layers are assumed small, the slope of the bottom i...
