The dynamical balance, transport and circulation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current [PDF]
, 2004 The physical ingredients of the ACC circulation are reviewed. A picture of thecirculation is sketched by means of recent observations of the WOCE decade.

A geostrophic-like model for large Hartmann number flows [PDF]
, 2004 A flow of electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a steady magnetic field has a tendency to become quasi two-dimensional, i.e. uniform in the direction of the magnetic field, except in thin so-called Hartmann boundary layers.

, 2014 We investigate the non-linear equilibration of a two-layer quasi-geostrophic flow in a channel forced by an imposed unstable zonal mean flow, paying particular attention to the role of bottom friction.

Rotating gravity currents: small-scale and large-scale laboratory experiments and a geostrophic model [PDF]
, 2007 Laboratory experiments simulating gravity-driven coastal surface currents produced by estuarine fresh-water discharges into the ocean are discussed. The currents are generated inside a rotating tank filled with salt water by the continuous release of ...

Southern South China Sea boundary current transition from summer to winter
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 The characteristics and mechanism of the southern South China Sea (SCS) Western Boundary Current (WBC) summer-winter transition have been investigated. The transition typically starts in early October and lasts for about two weeks. Above the thermoclines

SEASONAL SURFACE GEOSTROPHIC CURRENT IN ARAFURA-TIMOR WATERS
Jurnal Ilmu dan Teknologi Kelautan Tropis, 2013 Research on the seasonal geostrophic surface current during 2002-2011 in Arafura-Timor waters was conducted using satellite altimetry data. Those data were absolute dynamic topography and absolute geostrophic velocity data taken from Archiving Validation and Interpretation of Satellite Oceanographic data (AVISO).

A barotropic model of eddy saturation
, 2017 "Eddy saturation" refers to a regime in which the total volume transport of an oceanic current is insensitive to the wind stress strength. Baroclinicity is currently believed to be key to the development of an eddy-saturated state.

Ensemble prediction for nowcasting with a convection-permitting model - II: forecast error statistics [PDF]
, 2010 A 24-member ensemble of 1-h high-resolution forecasts over the Southern United Kingdom is used to study short-range forecast error statistics. The initial conditions are found from perturbations from an ensemble transform Kalman filter.
