Oceanic Jet Instability

Oceanic Jet Instability is a barotropic instability mechanism characterized by the hydrodynamic instability of zonally oriented ocean currents due to shear-driven perturbations in the absence of horizontal density gradients, distinguished from other jet instabilities by its reliance on the vertical structure of the flow and the beta effect in rotating shallow-water systems.
