Abstract: Goldsbrough first showed how the mass flux at the ocean surface due to the difference between evaporation and precipitation could induce barotropic flow in the ocean interior through the requirement of vorticity conservation. ...

Abstract: A study is made of the thermocline and current structures of a subtropical/subpolar basin. Tis paper explores the shape of the interface, and the flow patterns when the lower layer is infinitely thick. Simple frictional ...
