The Mascarene Basin paper has been published in Deep-Sea Research I. In this paper I study the barotropic normal modes of the Mascarene Basin, and argue that one of them nicely explains the strong bimonthly oscillations that have recently been observed.
The Argentine Basin papers have been published! In Part I, we looked at the statistical characteristics of the intra-seasonal variability of the Argentine Basin. We argue that multiple oscillatory modes may be present, reconciling conflicting observations of the dominant time scale. In Part II, we study these modes in more detail, tracing them back to classical Rossby basin modes of a rectangular, flat-bottom basin.
