What is <strong>JEBAR</strong>?<br />
●<br />
There are several interpretations <strong>of</strong> <strong>JEBAR</strong>. It<br />
has been described by each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> following:<br />
– Geostrophic component <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> correction to <strong>the</strong><br />
topographic stretching term to account for <strong>the</strong> fact<br />
that <strong>the</strong> bottom velocity, not <strong>the</strong> depth-averaged<br />
velocity, yields topographic vortex-tube stretching<br />
(Mertz, et. al. 1992)<br />
– Relates to bottom torque (curl <strong>of</strong> horizontal force by<br />
<strong>the</strong> bottom on <strong>the</strong> fluid) (Mertz, et. al. 1992)<br />
– Difference between bottom pressure torque <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
corresponding torque associated with <strong>the</strong> depth<br />
averaged pressure (Myers, et. al. 1996)
