Linear waves and baroclinic instability in an inhomogeneous-density layered primitive-equation ocean model
F. J. Beron-Vera, M. J. Olascoaga, J. Zavala-Garay
We consider a multilayer generalization of Ripa's inhomogeneous-density single-layer primitive-equation model. In addition to vary arbitrarily in horizontal position and time, the…

Deep ocean influence on upper ocean baroclinic instability saturation
M. J. Olascoaga, F. J. Beron-Vera, J. Sheinbaum
In this paper we extend earlier results regarding the effects of the lower layer of the ocean (below the thermocline) on the baroclinic instability within the upper layer (above th…
