Effects of Finite Amplitude Bottom Topography on Ocean Variability
The wind-driven oceanic circulation in the presence of bottom topography that isopycnals intersect is examined in an idealized setting. A modified quasi-geostrophic (QG) model has been designed and implemented. The model allows staircase bottom topography: topographic breaks decompose the lateral do...
