\section{Introduction} 

Text of Paragraph 1. Do citations like this: \cite{bw72},  \cite{wood68}.

\vspace{8pt} 
\noindent Continue with text of second paragraph.
Here is my first equation...
\begin{equation}
\pi > 3.14
\end{equation}

\vspace{8pt}
\noindent Now onto paragraph 3...

\section{New Section Heading}
\noindent Text in the new section...

\subsection{Subsection Heading}
\noindent In this section we'll introduce and discuss a figure...

\begin{figure}[htb]
 \begin{center}
   \includegraphics[width=0.8\linewidth]{zeta.png}
   \caption{Vertical vorticity $\zeta(x,y)$ (${\rm s}^{-1}$) at fixed $z$ in a buoyancy-driven, horizontal exchange flow through a narrow gap. Locations where $|\zeta|>\zeta_{*}$ are shown in dark blue.}
   \label{vorticity}
 \end{center}
\end{figure}


\section{New Section Heading}
\noindent In this section we'll summarize everything in a table...

\begin{center}

  \begin{tabular}{| c | c | p{7cm} |}
    \hline

    $\sigma/f$ & 2.7  &  $\sigma/2 > f$  \\ \hline
    $N_{\rm pyc}/f$ & 11.6  & strongly stratified pycnocline  \\ \hline
    $N_{\rm deep}/N_{\rm pyc}$ & 0.19  & weak stratification at depth \\ \hline
