Output of an eddy-resolving model of the North Atlantic is diagnosed in the vicinity of the Gulf Stream (GS), using the three-dimensional quasi-geostrophic transient wave activity flux diagnostic developed by Plumb [1986]. The model North Atlantic shows large transient wave activity along the model...
