ON THE FEEDBACK OF THE RHINES-YOUNG POOL ON THE VENTILATED THERMOCLINE
The model developed by Pedlosky and Young is used to investigate the feedback of a Rhines-Young pool on a ventilated thermocline. It is found that the potential vorticity gradient in a ventilated layer is reduced due to the nonlinear coupling with a deep Rhines-Young pool. Physically, this occurs be...
