The Geostrophic Turbulence of Boundary Buoyancy Anomalies
Houssam Yassin
Quasigeostrophic flows are induced by spatial variations in interior potential vorticity and boundary buoyancy. We begin by developing the geostrophic turbulence theory of boundary…
The buoyancy staircase limit in surface quasigeostrophic turbulence
Houssam Yassin
Surface buoyancy gradients over a quasigeostrophic fluid permit the existence of surface-trapped Rossby waves. The interplay of these Rossby waves with surface quasigeostrophic tur…
Surface Quasigeostrophic Turbulence in Variable Stratification
Houssam Yassin, Stephen M. Griffies
Numerical and observational evidence indicates that, in regions where mixed-layer instability is active, the surface geostrophic velocity is largely induced by surface buoyancy ano…
On the Discrete Normal Modes of Quasigeostrophic Theory
Houssam Yassin, Stephen M. Griffies
The discrete baroclinic modes of quasigeostrophic theory are incomplete and the incompleteness manifests as a loss of information in the projection process. The incompleteness of t…
Normal modes with boundary dynamics in geophysical fluids
Houssam Yassin
Three-dimensional geophysical fluids support both internal and boundary-trapped waves. To obtain the normal modes in such fluids we must solve a differential eigenvalue problem for…
