Mixed baroclinic-barotropic instability with oceanic applications Wright, Daniel Gordon
Abstract
A brief introduction to the general subject of baroclinic-barotropic instability is given in chapter I followed by a discussion of the work done in the following chapters.
In chapter II a three-layer model is derived to study the stability of large-scale oceanic zonal flows over topography to quasi-geostrophic wave perturbations. The mean density profile employed has upper and lower layers of constant densities p*₁ and p*₃ respectively (p*₁
