DOI: 10.1007/s13131-018-1251-z
Abstract: A 1.5-layer quasi-geostrophic reduced gravity model is used to study the hysteresis of a periodic or leaking western boundary current (WBC) flowing by a gap. When the periods of the WBC variations are much longer… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020gl090751
Abstract: Western boundary currents (WBCs) have intensified and become more eddying in recent decades due to the spin‐up of the ocean gyres, resulting in warmer open ocean temperatures. However, relatively little is known of how WBC… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2021gl094115
Abstract: Among Western Boundary Currents, the East Australian Current (EAC) has a more energetic eddy field relative to its mean flow, however, the relationship between upstream transport and downstream eddy kinetic energy (EKE) is still unclear.… read more here.
