Topographic Effects on Shelf Waters and Spirals on the Sea
Abstract
The long- term goals are: To use measurements and develop theory for stratified flow past topography. To understand the relevant processes, including establishment of the high drag state, the role of boundary layer separation, entrainment, and the generation, propagation and dissipation of internal solitary waves. To elucidate the fluid dynamical processes associated with spiral eddies and other small scale vortices often observed in visible and SAR images from space and airborne platforms.
