In idealized models that aim to understand the temporal variability of the wind-driven ocean
circulation, low-frequency instabilities associated with so-called oscillatory gyre modes have …

Transition to Aperiodic Variability in a Wind-Driven Double-Gyre Circulation Model in: Journal

Observations of the sea surface temperature field over more than a century indicate that
there is pronounced variability in the climate system. Understanding the mechanisms of this …

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 …

This work examines the instabilities of steady circulations driven by stationary single-gyre
wind forcing in closed rectangular basins with different aspect ratios. The stratified ocean is …

This study examines the instability and dynamical transitions of the two-layer western
boundary currents represented by the Munk profile in the upper layer and a motionless …

The method of lobe analysis is used and extended to analyze a time-dependent, boundary-
trapped recirculation. The recirculation gyre occurs in a numerical model of wind-driven flow …
