A nonlinear, three-dimensional model for ocean flows, motivated by some observations of the Pacific Equatorial Undercurrent and thermocline

Using the salient properties of the flow observed in the equatorial Pacific as a guide, an asymptotic procedure is applied to the Euler equation written in a suitable rotating frame. Starting from the single overarching assumption of slow variations in the azimuthal direction in a two-layer, steady...
