Eddy-Mean Flow interactions in the Along-Stream Development of a Western Boundary Current Jet: An Idealized Model Study

A theoretical study on the role of eddy-mean flow interactions in the time-mean dynamics of a zonally evolving, unstable, strongly inertial jet in a configuration and parameter regime that is relevant to oceanic western boundary current (WBC) jets is described. Progress is made by diagnosing the edd...
