Barotropic vorticity balance of the North Atlantic subpolar gyre in an eddy-resolving model
The circulation in the North Atlantic subpolar gyre is complex and strongly influenced by the topography. The gyre dynamics are traditionally understood as the result of a topographic Sverdrup balance, which corresponds to a first-order balance between the planetary vorticity advection, the bottom p...
