description abstract | The transport in the western boundary layer in Stommel's model of the ocean circulation with a constant frictional coefficient over the entire basin is calculated exactly and is found to be significantly less than the Sverdrup transport for aspect ratios [meridional width (L)/latitudinal width (M)] characteristic of the World Ocean basins. The reduction factor is approximately (1/?α2)(1 ? e? ?α2), where α = πL/M and L? is the boundary-layer thickness. | |
