High-Resolution Numerical Simulations of Wind-Driven Gyres

The dynamics of the world's oceans occur at a vast range of length scales. Although there are theories that aid in understanding the dynamics at planetary scales and microscales, the motions in between are still not yet well understood. This work discusses a numerical model to study barotropic...
