- PIV vorticity in lab
- Vorticity field (red: cyclonic/ blue: anticyclonic) of an unstable baroclinic current over a flat bottom
- PIV vorticity (over steep slope)
- Vorticity field (red: cyclonic/ blue: anticyclonic) of an unstable baroclinic current over a steep shelf. Same initial condition as previous image (flat bottom) but with a bottom slope corresponding to a topographic parameter To= -1.3.
- Movie: unstable baroclinic current (flat bottom)
- Vorticity field (blue: anticyclonic/ red: cyclonic) of an unstable baroclinic current over a flat bottom. The vorticity was computed from PIV performed on the UME-LMD rotating plateform.
