Recent analyses have argued that energy enters the mesoscale, balanced flow at a rate of
roughly 1 TeraWatt (1TW= 109Watts). As the mesoscale appears not to be accelerating …

Meteorological conditions during an intensive oceanographic observational program in May
through August 2001 along the central Oregon coast are described and related to larger …

This paper provides a brief review of recent results on decoupling of fast [inertia–gravity
wave (IGW)] and slow (vortex) motions at small Rossby numbers obtained in the framework …

We consider the evolution of an isolated anticyclonic vortex encountering a continental shelf
during its westward β-drift in the framework of an equivalent-barotropic model generalized to …

The temporal evolution of baroclinic basin-scale waves in a rotating circular basin following
an initial forcing event is investigated using a laboratory study. Experiments conducted in the …

In this paper we investigate the possibility of fast waves affecting the evolution of slow
balanced dynamics in the regime being the inertial frequency. This slow evolution equation …

This paper deals with the extension of mixed water plumes in a coastal environment. This
problem is connected with the dynamics of tidal fronts and is studied using simplified …

Observational evidence is presented for interaction between nonlinear internal Kelvin waves
at the ω t, i (where the ω t is the semidiurnal frequency and the ω i is the inertial frequency) …

The nonlinear evolution of a localized layer of buoyant, uniform potential vorticity fluid with
depth H, width w0 and length L released adjacent to a wall in a rotating system is studied …

Open-problems on spin-up flow of an incompressible homogeneous fluid have been
reviewed. Characteristics of spin-up are followed by a summary of well-established previous …
