A theory for the surface Atlantic response to thermohaline variability
The response of the upper, warm limb of the thermohaline circulation in the North Atlantic to a rapid change in deep-water formation at high latitudes is investigated using a reduced-gravity ocean model. Changes in deep-water formation rate initiate Kelvin waves that propagate along the western boun...
