  6. Two Types of Wakes • Deep Water: • the vorticity is generated within lateral boundary • of the island. • 2. Shallow Water: • The vorticty is generated by two ways in homogenous ocean (Signell, 1989): • a. Slope Torque • b. Speed Torque • and additional one with stratification (Smolarkiewicz et al, 1989) • c. Baroclinic tilting

  14. An additional nondimensional parameter: Internal Froude Number (Fr), must be introduced in the shallow-water wake.

  15. Summary • In SCB, island wakes is very significant characterizing • SCB circulation. • Three types of instabilities identified in deep-water island • wakes,in which three nondimensional parameters • (Re,Ro and Bu) are dominant. • In the shallow-water wake, an additional dimensionless • parameter (Fr) is important.
