Intergyre Quasigeostrophic Double Gyre Animations

The following links take you to QuickTime animations showing the entire basin... a magnification of the Eastern boundary... a magnification of the Western boundary...

t₀ = 0.0140 Eastern Boundary Western Boundary

t₀ = 0.0160 Eastern Boundary Western Boundary

t₀ = 0.0165 Eastern Boundary Western Boundary

t₀ = 0.01675 Eastern Boundary Western Boundary

t₀ = 0.0170 Eastern Boundary Western Boundary

t₀ = 0.0170 WBT-LONG WBT-LONG-NM WBT-RING
