The science and art of modeling is deeply rooted in our desire to better describe and
understand the world around us: it is imperative that we have some rudimentary knowledge …

This paper is an observational study of small-scale coherent eddies in the Labrador Sea, a
region of dense water formation thought to be of considerable importance to the North …

Mesoscale coherent vortices are numerous in the ocean. Though they possess various
structures in temperature and salinity, they are all long-lived, fairly intense and mostly …

Satellite observations have revolutionized oceanography, capturing diverse phenomena
over much of the globe. However, it remains to understand how surface fields, like sea …

The deformation radius is widely used as an indication of the eddy length scale at different
latitudes. The radius is usually calculated assuming a flat ocean bottom. However …

This book is a summary of our 18-year period of joint work in the field of vortex dynamics in a
stratified rotating fluid under INTAS 94-3614 (1995–1997), INTAS/AIRBUS 04-80-7297 …

Observations of topographic Rossby waves (TRW), using moored current meters, bottom
pressure gauges, and Lagrangian RAFOS floats, are investigated for the deep basin of the …

Velocity data from 81 globally-distributed current meters are used to characterize the vertical
structure of ocean current fluctuations. The primary empirical orthogonal functions from most …
