Predicting eddy detachment from thin jets
Using a semi-geostrophic, reduced gravity thin jet model, we analytically study the evolution of initial meanders into pinched-off rings. The model used is similar to the path equation developed by Flierl and Robinson {1984) for vertically coherent meanders. However, in the present model, the …
