Instabilities of gravity currents along a slope

This work examines the linear stability of rotationally influenced density currents with zero potential vorticity flowing over a sloping seafloor at the base of an ocean of finite depth. This configuration serves as a crude model of a type of current that is common in the ocean. The normal modes of...
