Mean flow stability in a model of the eastern North Pacific ocean

Mean flow and stratification data obtained from an eight-layer quasigeostrophic model of the California Current System are used to feed a linearized model, from which a stability problem is solved. Frequencies, phase speeds, group velocities, growth rates and vertical structures are obtained after s...
