Tunnels in the ocean: formation and propagation of interannual water mass anomalies in global subtropical cells
… evidence has emerged of spice and potential vorticity anomaly persistence along mean flow pathways on isopycnals. In Chapter 2, we provide the first global view of subtropical water mass anomaly propagation, using both an observational dataset and the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of …

An experimental study of the spread of buoyant water into a rotating environment
… in particular on the role that finite potential vorticity and background turbulence play in determining the flow properties. When water of an anomalous density enters into an oceanic basin, gravity-driven surface flows can be established as a result of the density difference. These flows are …
