The dynamics of elongated and strongly stratified straits

A three-dimensional frictional Ekman-type model has been derived from an analysis of the primitive momentum equations for the cases of long, strongly stratified straits. An analytical solution has been obtained. A set of model experiments is developed to investigate the formation of depth-integrated...
