Low-frequency variability in the midlatitude atmosphere induced by an oceanic thermal front

Feliks et al examine the flow induced in a highly idealized atmospheric model by an east-west-orient oceanic thermal front. The model has a linear marine boundary layer coupled to a quasigeostrophic, equivalent-barotrophic free atmosphere. The results are placed in the context of previous theories o...

Zusammenfassung:Feliks et al examine the flow induced in a highly idealized atmospheric model by an east-west-orient oceanic thermal front. The model has a linear marine boundary layer coupled to a quasigeostrophic, equivalent-barotrophic free atmosphere. The results are placed in the context of previous theories of ocean front effects on atmospheric flows, in which baroclinic phenomena are dominant.
