Oceanic variability on interannual, interdecadal, and longer timescales plays a key role in
climate variability and climate change. Paleoclimatic records suggest major changes in the …

In the? rst edition of this book (publishedby Kluwer Academic in November 2000) the
methodology of dynamical systems theory was introduced and appli-cations of this theory to …

Transitions are to be found throughout the natural world. The laws of nature are usually
represented by differential equations, which can be regarded as dynamical systems—both …

Streamfunction patterns ψ (x, y) of steady linear solutions for several values of gap width

Intrinsic low-frequency variability is studied in the idealized, quasigeostrophic, midlatitude,
wind-driven ocean gyres operating at large Reynolds number. A robust decadal variability …

The exploration of a two-dimensional wind-driven ocean model with no-slip boundaries
reveals the existence of a turbulent asymptotic regime where energy dissipation becomes …

It has been established that idealized western boundary currents, which encounter a gap in
their supporting boundary, will assume one of two dominant steady states: a loop current …

A barotropic model of the wind-driven circulation in the subtropical region of the ocean is
considered. A no-slip condition is specified at the coasts and slip at the fluid boundaries …
