This surface separates the upper ocean, corresponding to the euphotic zone, from the lower, deep ocean. When an eddy transits through, such density surface is deformed. Dependent on the phases of the lifespan of an eddy this will create vertical perturbations in different direction. Eddy lifespans are divided in formation, evolution and ...
Figure 3: Damping of eddy due to use of relative wind stress compared to wind stress in resting ocean approximation. As seen in Figure 2, when the wind velocity and ocean current velocity are in the same direction, the relative wind stress is smaller than the resting ocean wind stress. In other words, less positive work is using relative wind ...
A baroclinic instability is a fluid dynamical instability of fundamental importance in the atmosphere and ocean. It can lead to the formation of transient mesoscale eddies, with a horizontal scale of 10-100 km. [1] [2] In contrast, flows on the largest scale in the ocean are described as ocean currents, the largest scale eddies are mostly created by shearing of two ocean currents and static ...
Ocean 2: The Answer is the sixteenth studio album by the German rock band Eloy, released in 1998. It is a concept album conceived by Frank Bornemann and inspired by Ocean , the most commercially successful German prog rock album ever. [ 9 ]

Eddy permitting and eddy resolving models are used to examine the effect of eddy saturation and eddy compensation in the ACC. In these models resolution is of great importance. Ocean observations do not have a high enough resolution to fully estimate the degree of eddy saturation and eddy compensation.
The Iribarren number which is often denoted as Ir or ξ – is defined as: [5] = /, with =, where ξ is the Iribarren number, is the angle of the seaward slope of a structure, H is the wave height, L 0 is the deep-water wavelength, T is the period and g is the gravitational acceleration.
