An Analytical Model of the Response of the Meridional Overturning Circulation to Changes in Wind and Buoyancy Forcing

An analytical model of the full-depth ocean stratification and meridional overturning circulation for an idealized Atlantic basin with a circumpolar channel is presented. The model explicitly describes the ocean response to both Southern Ocean winds and the global pattern and strength of prescribed...
