On the separation of a barotropic western boundary current from a cape
- Abstract:
-
The problem of western boundary current separation is investigated using a barotropic vorticity model. Specifically, a boundary current flowing poleward along a boundary containing a cape is considered. The meridional gradient of the Coriolis parameter (the β effect), the strength of dissipation, and the geometry of the cape are varied. It is found that 1) all instances of flow separation arc coincident with the presence of a flow deceleration, 2) an increase in the strength of the β effect i...
