recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ocean Modelling"

DOI: 10.1016/j.ocemod.2017.03.008

Abstract: Jets are an important element of the global ocean circulation. Since these jets are turbulent, it is important that they are characterized using a statistical framework. A high resolution barotropic channel ocean model is used… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pocean.2020.102444

Abstract: Abstract Energetics of semidiurnal barotropic and internal tides in the Bay of Bengal (BoB) and Andaman Sea (AS) are studied using the simulations from a high-resolution ocean general circulation model. Barotropic M 2 tide, which… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/1755876x.2024.2364975

Abstract: ABSTRACT The shallow-water equations are often used as a classical simplified ocean model for barotropic ocean dynamics. The same equations can also be used to model simplified baroclinic dynamics through the reduced-gravity model. Herein, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jpo-d-23-0042.1

Abstract: The vertically integrated zonal momentum balance of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is dominated by wind stress at the surface and topographic form stress (TFS) at the bottom. It has been argued that wind stress… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jpo-d-24-0027.1

Abstract: A parameterization for barotropic eddy potential vorticity (PV) fluxes is introduced which applies both an energetic and an enstrophetic constraint to a down-gradient PV mixing closure. An eddy kinetic energy budget and an eddy potential… read more here.
