Scales, Growth Rates, and Spectral Fluxes of Baroclinic Instability in the Ocean
An observational, modeling, and theoretical study of the scales, growth rates, and spectral fluxes of baroclinic instability in the ocean is presented, permitting a discussion of the relation between the local instability scale; the first baroclinic deformation scale Rdef; and the equilibrated, obse...
