2 Mar 2000 | | Journal: | Geophysical Research Letters 27, 739-742 (2000) | | Subject: | Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics | physics.ao-ph | | Abstract: | Small-scale oceanic motions, in combination with bottom topography, induce mean large-scale along-isobaths flows. The direction of these mean flows is usually found to be anticyclonic (cyclonic) over bumps (depressions). Here we employ a quasigeostrophic model to show that the current direction of these topographically induced large-scale flows can be reversed by the small-scale variability. This result addresses the existence of a new bulk effect from the small-scale activity that could have strong consequences on the circulation of the world’s ocean. | | Source: | arXiv, physics/0003009 | | Other source: | [GID 203227] physics/0003009 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
