The 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DwH) accident in the Gulf of Mexico has renewed oceanographic interest in point source buoyant convection. The present paper applies modern numerical techniques to study this problem, focussing specifically on the DwH event. The gas/oil/seawater nature of the problem requires a ‘multiphase’ approach, which is relatively unfamiliar in physical oceanography, although applications...
The input of potential vorticity (PV) over the oceans is estimated from observations to produce climatological maps and study interannual forcing variability. The estimate is obtained using a potential vorticity like variable employing potential temperature in place of potential density, and thus we refer to it as pseudo-potential vorticity (PPV). This choice allows us to examine the effects of storms...
