Title: Factors Influencing Asymmetry and Self Advection in Ocean Eddies
Abstract: The interaction of an ocean eddy with bottom topography, a western boundary and a mid-ocean jet is considered. Common in all of these eddy-interaction studies is the evolution of strong azimuthal mode distortions to the eddy lateral structure. Associated with these asymmetries in the eddy are propagation tendencies in directions other than those suggested by planetary or topographic beta considerations. Eddy propagation tendencies associated with azimuthal mode one distortions and self advection in each of these eddy interactions are examined. A quantification of eddy propagation speed induced by various amounts of mode one amplitude is given.
