Topographically induced baroclinic eddies along a coastline

A mathematical model is formulated which describes the interaction between a baroclinic current and order Rossby number topography along a coastline. The lead term solution, in an asymptotic expansion in the Rossby number, is obtained for the pressure, density, velocity and mass transport fields. Th...
