A numerical study of the forcing mechanisms of the Leeuwin current system
Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited === To investigate the role of wind forcing, bottom topography and thermohaline gradients in the Leeuwin Current System (LCS), several experiments are conducted with a sigma coordinate primitive equation model on a beta-plane. Results show that...
