Antarctic ice cliffs may not contribute to ice-sheet instability as much as predicted（图）
Antarctic ice cliff contribute ice-sheet instability
2019/11/5
Antarctica's ice sheet spans close to twice the area of the contiguous United States. Its land boundary is buttressed by massive, floating ice shelves extending hundreds of miles out over the frigid w...
Instability in Antarctic ice projected to increase likelihood of worst-case sea level rise（图）
Instability Antarctic ice projected worst-case sea level rise
2019/10/23
Images of vanishing Arctic ice are jarring, but the region’s potential contributions to sea level rise are no match for Antarctica’s. Now, a study says that instability hidden in Antarctic ice increas...
Satellites Reveal the Influence of Equatorial Currents and Tropical Instability Waves on the Drift of the Kon-Tiki in the Pacific
Equatorial Currents Tropical Instability Waves
2015/7/29
A raft drifting on the ocean is at the mercy of the elements. When a sailor describes this experience, one begins to understand the meaning of "in situ," of being in touch with the water. The senses f...
A Tabletop Demonstration of Atmospheric Dynamics:Baroclinic Instability
Tabletop Demonstration Atmospheric Dynamics Baroclinic Instability
2015/7/22
Here we study a fundamental instability mechanism of the atmosphere that affects us very directly in terms of mid-latitude winter weather. We provide a hands-on demonstration of this instability using...
Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability, characterized by the distinctive
finite-amplitude billows it generates, is an important mechanism in the development
of turbulence in the stratified interior of ...
An Analysis of the Cabbeling Instability in Sea Water
nonlinear equation sea water Cabbeling Instability
2009/4/3
Due to the nonlinear equation of state of sea water it is possible for the mixture of two Parcels of sea water with the same density but different temperatures and salinities to have a density greater...
An experimental study is made of a baroclinic vortex produced in a two-layer fluid. After the equivalence between the experiment and the heated annulus experiment of Hide is established, it is argued ...
An Experimental Study of the Resonant Instability of an Internal Wave of Mode 3 Over a Range of Driving Frequencies
Resonant Instability Internal Wave Driving Frequencies
2009/3/26
An experimental study of the stability of a progressive internal wave of mode 3 propagating down a long tank filled with a linearly stratified salt solution is conducted over the range 0.45ω3/N0.80, w...
Baroclinic instability is examined in a two-layer, quasi-geostrophic model for linearized mesoscale waves (i.e., with periods of a few months and length scales near the internal deformation radius). T...
Baroclinic Instability over a Slope. Part II：Finite-Amplitude Theory
Baroclinic Instability Finite-Amplitude Theory
2009/3/24
Baroclinic instability of a circular current is modified by the presence of a unidirectional bottom slope. An analytical theory is developed for the slightly unstable flow regime over a weak slope. Th...

Baroclinic Instability Slope Linear Theory
2009/3/24
We consider the instability properties of a circular current in the upper layer of a two-layer quasi-geostrophic ocean over a unidirectional slope. This particular flow-topography geometry is intended...

Secondary Baroclinic Instability Meridional Scale
2009/3/24
The stability of the marginally stable baroclinic wave in a uniform zonal shear flow is studied. Although the single, marginally stable wave on a horizontally uniform baroclinic current has little or ...
Baroclinic Instability in the Denmark Strait Overflow
Baroclinic Instability Denmark Strait Overflow
2009/3/7
Current meter records and hydrographic data taken in the Denmark Strait overflow during a one-month experiment in August-September 1973 are analyzed. Mean conditions indicate that a strong, cold overf...

2009/2/18
Low-frequency motions (0.25 cpd) have recently been observed in Juan de Fuca Strait. The three-layer model developed in Part I of this paper is used to show that some of this activity may be due to an...

Specialized Density Stratification Baroclinic Instability Constant Bottom Slope
2009/2/16
A three-layer model is used to study the stability of large-scale oceanic zonal flows over topography. The mean density profile employed has upper and lower layers of constant densities ρ1* and ρ3*, r...
