A Simple Model of the Response of the Atlantic to the North Atlantic Oscillation

The response of an idealized Atlantic Ocean to wind and thermohaline forcing associated with the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is investigated both analytically and numerically in the framework of a reducedgravity model. The NAO-related wind forcing is found to drive a time-dependent ''...
