Southern Ocean eddy phenomenology (2015, background): “…where the topographic barrier effect is clearly important are the western boundaries of the ocean basins, as some of the very long-lived, westward propagating eddies in the subtropical gyres will hit land there, eventually leading to their death [Zhai et al., 2010; Petersen et al., 2013; CSS11].”
Global energy conversion rate from geostrophic flows into internal lee waves in the deep ocean (2011, background): “It is believed that the eddy field in turn loses its energy through friction in bottom boundary layers [Arbic and Flierl, 2004] and along western boundaries [Zhai et al., 2010], and through internal wave generation at rough topography [Nikurashin and Ferrari, 2010a].”
A Framework for Parameterizing Eddy Potential Vorticity Fluxes (2012, background): “2005; Polzin 2008; Marshall and Naveira Garabato 2008; Nikurashin and Ferrari 2010), western boundary dissipation (e.g., Dewar and Hogg 2010; Zhai et al. 2010), and other processes.”
