The Adiabatic Pole-to-Pole Overturning Circulation

The adiabatic pole-to-pole cell of the residual overturning circulation (ROC) is studied in a twohemisphere, semienclosed basin, with a zonally reentrant channel occupying the southernmost eighth of the domain. Three different models of increasing complexity are used: a simple, analytically tractabl...
