Abstract: The barotropic vorticity (BV) balance is fundamental when interpreting the ocean gyre circulation. Here we propose an intercomparison of vorticity equations for the depth‐integrated flow applied to ocean models. We review four distinct variants of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jpo-d-19-0272.1

Abstract: The circulation of the Kuroshio northeast of Taiwan is characterized by a large anticyclonic loop of surface intrusion and strong upwelling at the shelfbreak. To study the mechanisms of Kuroshio intrusions, the vorticity balance is… read more here.
