Physical nature of the climatic and biological effects of the Peru current

Surface and depth flow processes and their effects on the behavior of the Peru current are considered in relation to climatological and biological effects for the entire western coast of South America. The mean annual coastal air temperature is from 2 deg to 6 deg below the norm and precipitation is extremely rare. An upwelling effect brings up the cold deep waters with their rich content of organic material responsible for the huge biological productivity of the region.

Distribution of energy in the ocean and atmosphere as a result of their thermal and dynamic interactions

A two dimensional stationary model of the ocean-atmosphere interaction is formulated that satisfies the thermohydrodynamic convection equations in a Boussinesq approximation of heat input from the sun.

On bottom density currents on the continental shelves

The turbulent characteristics of bottom density currents on the continental shelves and their influence on the vertical profiles of current velocities are studied by considering plane parallel flows of a liquid with one density in a motionless liquid and with lighter density along an inclined plane. The motion of the liquid is a result of gravitational force directed along the parallel plane. Vertical distribution of turbulent stress is determined from a known average velocity profile and is used to obtain the vertical profile of the average current velocity.
