The results of an intercomparison experiment performed with five numerical ocean models of different architecture are presented, While all models are able to simulate the large-scale characteristics of the North Atlantic circulation with a fair degree of realism, they also exhibit differences that can be attributed to the choices made in vertical coordinates, domain size, and boundary conditions.
