Slope/shelf circulation and cross-slope/shelf transport out of a bay driven by eddies from the open ocean
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Interaction between the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and the continental slope/shelf in the Marguerite Bay and west Antarctic Peninsula is examined as interaction between a wind-driven channel flow and a zonally uniform ...
The southern ocean meridional overturning circulation as diagnosed from an eddy permitting state estimate
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
A modern general circulation model of the Southern Ocean with one-sixth of a degree resolution is optimized to the observed ocean in a weighted least squares sense. Convergence to the state estimate solution is carried out ...
Stability of large-scale oceanic flows and the importance of non-local effects
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
My thesis covers two general circulation problems that involve the stability of largescale oceanic flows and the importance of non-local effects. The first problem examines the stability of meridional boundary currents, ...
