Influence of multiple islands on the hysteresis and dynamics of a western boundary current perturbed by a mesoscale eddy at a gap

The hysteresis of a western boundary current (WBC) flowing across a gap and the dynamics of the mesoscale eddy–WBC interaction with the presence of two islands in the gap are studied using a 1.5-layer ocean model. The hysteresis of the WBC suggests that the two islands in the gap facilitate the WBC...
