Abstract: Solutions of the Stommel equation are presented which take the form of free waves in the interior of the ocean basin, driven by convergences and divergences in coastal transports brought about by the variation of the ...

Abstract: A series of two-layer quasigeostrophic solutions for the ocean circulation driven by a steady wind in a channel with topography and in a flat bottom rectangular basin are presented in which the atmosphere and ocean are ...

Abstract: The authors present an analytical climate model, which has the features that (i) the atmosphere is a simple oscillator for all periods ≤1 year, (ii) the ocean stores heat, (iii) the ocean exchanges momentum with the ...
