The deformation radius is widely used as an indication of the eddy length scale at different
latitudes. The radius is usually calculated assuming a flat ocean bottom. However …

This book is a summary of our 18-year period of joint work in the field of vortex dynamics in a
stratified rotating fluid under INTAS 94-3614 (1995–1997), INTAS/AIRBUS 04-80-7297 …

Using observations and theoretical models, a substantial topographic modulation on the
quasigeostrophic (QG) dynamics, which results in a primary surface mode distinct from the …

This study examines the impact of small-scale irregular topographic features on the
dynamics and evolution of large-scale barotropic flows in the ocean. A multiscale theory is …

The work presents the development of Rhines' theory for mixed topographic-planetary
waves in a stratified ocean on a background current. The vertical anisotropy of baroclinic …

Oceanographic observations have revealed that basin‐scale Rossby waves can travel at
speeds systematically exceeding values predicted by linear theory based on the flat‐bottom …

Linear Rossby waves in a continuously stratified ocean over a corrugated rough-bottomed
topography are investigated by asymptotic methods. The main results are obtained for the …

The effect of a small-scale topography on large-scale, small-amplitude oceanic motion is
analysed using a two-dimensional quasi-geostrophic model that includes free-surface and β …
