Vertical structure of mesoscale ocean currents in the Indian Ocean: observation, numerical modeling and theory

The classical linear Rossby wave theory suggests that the barotropic and baroclinic modes of the mesoscale eddy field would disperse and become uncorrelated with each other in space and time. In contrast, the correlation between the barotropic and first baroclinic modes was noted from moored current...
