Can Pacific Ocean thermocline depth anomalies be simulated by a simple linear vorticity model?

Can Pacific Ocean thermocline depth anomalies be simulated by a simple linear vorticity model?

This study attempts to reproduce the salient features of the variability in the depth of the thermocline in the marginally eddy-resolving Parallel Ocean Climate Model (POCM) of Semtner and Chervin, using a simple linear vorticity model that only permits local Ekman pumping and the propagation of lon...

Zusammenfassung:This study attempts to reproduce the salient features of the variability in the depth of the thermocline in the marginally eddy-resolving Parallel Ocean Climate Model (POCM) of Semtner and Chervin, using a simple linear vorticity model that only permits local Ekman pumping and the propagation of long Rossby waves.
