EFFECTS OF SLOPING BOTTOM ON THE DEEP CROSS-EQUATORIAL BOUNDARY CURRENT

This paper reports study focusing on the effects of sloping bottom on the deep cross-equatorial boundary current, and discusses model and laboratory experiment results showing that the southward intrusion distance and flow speed of the western boundary current depend on the bottom slope variation ra...

Zusammenfassung:	This paper reports study focusing on the effects of sloping bottom on the deep cross-equatorial boundary current, and discusses model and laboratory experiment results showing that the southward intrusion distance and flow speed of the western boundary current depend on the bottom slope variation rate, the difference between {ie65-1} and {ie65-2} ({ie65-3} and {ie65-4} are the current thickness at eastward edge and westward edge, respectively), and the net mass transport.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
