Cross-equatorial channel flow with zero potential vorticity under the complete Coriolis force
We investigate the cross-equatorial flow of deep ocean currents through a channel along the sea floor using the 1-layer or equivalent-barotropic shallow water equations. We restrict our attention to flows with zero potential vorticity, motivated by measurements of the deep Atlantic ocean, and focus...
