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 …

Velocity data from 81 globally-distributed current meters are used to characterize the vertical
structure of ocean current fluctuations. The primary empirical orthogonal functions from most …

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

Abstract The Gent–McWilliams parameterization is commonly used in global ocean models
to model the advective component of tracer transport effected by unresolved mesoscale …

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 …
