Estimating Lorenz’s Reference State in an Ocean with a Nonlinear Equation of State for Seawater

The study of the mechanical energy budget of the oceans using the Lorenz available potential energy (APE) theory is based on knowledge of the adiabatically rearranged Lorenz reference state of minimum potential energy. The compressible and nonlinear character of the equation of state for seawater ha...
