Thesis (M.Sc.)--University of Alberta (Canada), 2009.

This thesis is a numerical process study of a buoyancy driven abyssal current flowing along a sloping bottom on the rotating sphere. First, the spherical shallow water equations are derived using the covariant derivative. Second, a numerical scheme that uses second order spatial finite differences and third order Adams Bashforth time stepping is presented with parallel computing in mind. Finally, the results of several numerical simulations are presented using 3D perspective computer graphics. The simulation domain is an idealized basin with an abyssal water source in the Northwest sector. The abyssal current flows southward along the sloping topography in a manner consistent with quasi-geostrophic theory. The abyssal water source sheds coupled plumes and overlaying vortices. The period of this shedding is investigated, and there are three qualitatively different shedding behaviours. There can be no shedding at all, the shedding can be highly regular, or the shedding can be irregular and turbulent.
