RESONANCE OF FOFONOFF MODE IN A ROTATED BASIN
Fofonoff solutions to the inviscid barotropic potential vorticity equation are found for the steady, free flow in a basin rotated at an arbitrary angle to a latitude circle. These solutions are used to study the inertial recirculation of the subtropical gyre, which is forced by anomalously low value...
