Modelling the mesoscale variability in the greater Agulhas Current system using hybrid coordinate Ocean model

The ocean circulation dynamics in the greater Agulhas Current system are dominated by mesoscale variability, which is highly non-linear, and therefore difficult to measure and simulate accurately. Moreover, the shedding of Agulhas rings from the retroflection south of Africa, which is the dominant m...
