Topographic Rossby waves in a tank
This experiment just doesn’t want to be filmed by me. Even though I spent more time on preparation of this experiment than on almost any other experiment I have ever…

Topographic Rossby wave
Next attempt at the topographic Rossby wave! This time with following the geosci.uchicago.edu instructions more closely… …and then the tank had hickups, so we did get waves, but a lot more…
Vorticity and Rossby waves
Usually when we talk about waves on this blog, we talk about surface- or sometimes internal waves, but my waves almost always oscillate vertically. Today, we’ll mix things up a…
Tides themselves don’t induce (a lot of) mixing, only tides hitting topography do. An experiment.
As you might have noticed, the last couple of days I have been super excited to play with the large tanks at GFI in Bergen. But then there are also…
Looking at how waves are bent
As soon as waves run into water that becomes shallow enough for the wave to “feel” it, the waves start changing how fast they propagate. And depending on the shape…
