Measuring fluxes between wave and geostrophic features in rotating non-hydrostatic flows with variable stratification
Jeffrey J. Early, Gerardo Hernández-Dueñas, Leslie M. Smith +2
A challenge in physical oceanography is quantifying the energy content of waves and balanced flows and the fluxes that connect these reservoirs with their sources and sinks. Method…
Available potential vorticity and the wave-vortex decomposition for arbitrary stratification
Jeffrey J. Early, Gerardo Hernández-Dueñas, Leslie M. Smith +1
We consider a rotating non-hydrostatic flow with arbitrary stratification and argue that 1) the appropriate form of potential vorticity (PV) for this system is in terms of isopycna…
Exact expressions for available potential energy and available potential vorticity
Jeffrey J. Early, Gerardo Hernández-Dueñas, Leslie M. Smith +1
Exact analytical expressions for available potential energy density (APE) and available potential vorticity (APV) are derived from first principles. These APE and APV expressions a…
A generalized wave-vortex decomposition for rotating Boussinesq flows with arbitrary stratification
Jeffrey J. Early, M. Pascale Lelong, Miles A. Sundermeyer
The linear wave and geostrophic (vortex) solutions are shown to be a complete basis for physical variables in a rotating non-hydrostatic Boussinesq model with arbitrary…
Fast and Accurate Computation of Vertical Modes
Jeffrey J. Early, M. Pascale Lelong, K. Shafer Smith
The vertical modes of linearized equations of motion are widely used by the oceanographic community in numerous theoretical and observational contexts. However, the standard approa…
