Ocean circulationAbstract
The principal lectures of this twelfth Summer Program were
given by Joseph Pedlosky of the University of Chicago. On the following
page one sees Dr. Pedlosky demonstrating advanced effects
caused by rotation and stratification. Only in his last few lectures
do these novel phenomena emerge from the analysis.

Seismic constraints on shallow crustal processes at the East Pacific Rise
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1994-02)This thesis is concerned with understanding how oceanic crust is emplaced at mid-ocean ridges. The emphasis is upon fast-spreading ridges, and the use of seismic techniques to image the uppermost several hundred meters ... -
Stability of a coastal upwelling front over topography
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1987-10)A two-layer shallow water equation model is used to investigate the linear stability of a coastal upwelling front. The model features a surface front near a coastal boundary and bottom topography which is an arbitrary ... -
