A singularity in an oceanic boundary layer
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Abstract
A β-plane ocean is considered, and dissipative processes are modelled by using a coefficient of lateral friction. Attention is focused on the singularity which occurs if the angle that the western boundary makes with the north approaches ½π. The dimensions of the singular region are found using boundary layer techniques, and the solution for the transport stream function valid within it is obtained in closed form.
