ZONAL PENETRATION SCALE OF MIDLATITUDE OCEANIC JETS
It is shown that subtle changes in the velocity profile across the seaward extension of midlatitude jets, such as the Gulf Stream, can lead to dramatic changes in the zonal-penetration scale. In particular, if α-dq/dψ >0, where q is the absolute vorticity and ψ is a streamfunction for the geo...
