The distribution of the geostrophic flow in a stratified surface layer

ABSTRACT We consider the drainage of a low‐density surface layer from a semi‐enclosed deep basin. The flow is geostrophically controlled and occurs in a frontal region where the isopycnals bend upwards to meet the surface. A useful fact for modellers is that the total volume flow in the frontal regi...
