This study examines the response of the thermohaline circulation in the north Atlantic to steady and variable buoyancy forcing. The model used is a version of the MOMA model (Webb, 1996), updated to include a free surface and Gent & McWilliams mixing. The model’s resolution is coarse, 4 x4 degre...
