Eddy Formation in the Tropical Atlantic Induced by Abrupt Changes in the Meridional Overturning Circulation
The variability of the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) in the upper tropical Atlantic basin is investigated using a reduced-gravity model in a simplified domain. Four sets of idealized numerical experiments are performed: (i) switch-on of the MOC until a fixed value when a constant northwar...
