A laboratory study of global-scale wave interactions in baroclinic flow with topography II: vacillations and low-frequency variability

Abstract:: A laboratory investigation is presented with the aim of studying systematically the occurrence and characteristics of low-frequency variability of flows resulting from the interaction of a baroclinic flow with periodic bottom topography. Low-frequency variability within the baroclinic wave regime occurred in two distinct forms in separate regions of parameter space. One corresponded to the transition region between the baroclinic travelling and stationary wave regimes. It involved primarily a...
