NUMERICAL STUDIES OF BAROCLINIC INSTABILITY IN CYLINDRICAL AND SPHERICAL DOMAINS.
Finite difference numerical models based upon the Navier-Stokes equations with the Boussinesq approximation have been utilized to study the dynamics of a rotating liquid with horizontal density gradients. There are two configurations analyzed: a cylindrical annulus of water rotating about a vertical...
