Abstract
Numerical simulations of the collision between deep topographically-steered anticyclonic eddies and seamounts are described. The simulations are based on a two-layer intermediate length-scale model which filters out barotropi c processes and focuses on the sub-inertial baroclinic dynamics within the context of allowing finite-amplitude height variations in the deep cold edd ies and a background topographic vorticity gradient.
