Dominant Forces for Ocean DynamicsDominant Forces for Ocean Dynamics
Gravity : pressure gradient, buoyancy and tides Coriolis : lt f ti i t ti di t Coriolis : result from motion in a rotating coordinate sys. Friction : due to relative motion between two fluid
particle & Wind stress is important friction forceparticle & Wind stress is important friction force.

Type flow in the OceanType flow in the Ocean
General flow : the permanent time averaged circulationGeneral flow : the permanent, time averaged circulation Abyssal (Deep circulation) in deep ocean
driven by mixingdriven by mixing Wind driven Circulation: Caused by local wind Gyre: wind driven cyclonic/anticyclonic current with dimension
nearly ocean basin
B d t Boundary currents: parallel to the coast Jet : long narrow current Mesoscale eddies: spinning flows
Oscillatory flows due to wavesOscillatory flows due to waves
Planetary waves : rotation of earth Kalvin wavePlanetary waves : rotation of earth, Kalvin wave Surface waves: gravity waves
I t l Internal waves: change density with depth Tsunami: generated by earthquake Tidal currents: currents associated with internal wave
driven by tidal potential
Edge wave : surface waves confined to shallow regions near shore.
