Eddy shedding from a boundary current around a cape over a sloping bottom

The authors discuss laboratory experiments that elucidate the mechanism of formation and westward drift of anticyclonic baroclinic vortices from a buoyant surface current flowing along a lateral boundary and around a cape. Experiments were carried out with a sloping bottom in order to simulate the t...
