Conditional nonlinear optimal perturbations of the double-gyre ocean circulation
In this paper, we study the development of finite amplitude perturbations on linearly stable steady barotropic double-gyre flows in a rectangular basin using the concept of Conditional Nonlinear Optimal Perturbation (CNOP). The CNOPs depend on a time scale of evolution <i>t</i&a...
