Title: Transitions of zonal flows in a two-layer quasi-geostrophic ocean model.
We consider a 2-layer quasi-geostrophic ocean model where the upper layer is
forced by a steady Kolmogorov wind stress in a periodic channel domain, which
allows to mathematically study the nonlinear development of the resulting flow.
The model supports a steady parallel shear flow as a [...]
