摘要: AbstractThe circulation of the Arctic Ocean has traditionally been studied as a two-layer system, with wind-driven anticyclonic gyre in surface layer and cyclonic boundary current Atlantic Water (AW) layer, primarily forced remotely through inflow outflow to basin. Here, an idealized numerical model is used investigate interplay between dynamics two layers explore response each change forcing either layer. In model, intensity AW set by ocean stress curl basin, respectively. Additionally, can strongly modulate intermediate constraining lateral extent on slope. contrast, strength little effect circulation. The ...
