A NUMERICAL STUDY ON THE INFLUENCE OF THE MID-ATLANTIC RIDGE ON NON-LINEAR BAROTROPIC AND FIRST MODE BAROCLINIC ROSSBY WAVES GENERATED BY SEASONAL WINDS

A numerical model simulation investigates the influence of the mid-Atlantic ridge on non-linear barotropic and first-mode baroclinic Rossby waves generated by seasonal wind fluctuations. The north Atlantic is simulated by a square-box, two-layer quasi-geostrophic model. The bottom topography is ridg...
