Pedagogical tool and documentation for ocean fluxes
Monitoring ocean fluxes of mass, heat, and freshwater is an essential part of physical oceanography. For example, we see decadal fluctuations in the strength of the currents in the northern North Atlantic Ocean. These changes cause more or less heat and salt to gather in the Iceland Sea, west of the UK and Ireland. But […]
Congratulations Dr. Saberi!
Atousa Saberi has been awarded her PhD in Earth & Planetary Sciences. Atousa’s thesis title is “Kinematics and dynamics of oceanic overflows: Application to the Denmark Strait and Faroe Bank Channel.” A link to the pdf of her thesis is here (or will be available soon). Atousa is beginning a postdoc fellowship at NASA Goddard […]
Rotating Shallow Water Dynamics Notes
Notes from E&PS Fluids II (Spring 2021 version) are now available. The notes cover theory of rotating shallow water systems, inertia gravity waves, and geostrophic adjustment. They include detailed theoretical solutions to adjustment in various geometries. They also include software (MATLAB, Julia) to check the solutions and compute numerical solutions in complex geometries. Several examples […]
