Abstract

Abstract

A two-layer simple baroclinic ocean model is developed (H₁=501,H₁+H₂=250m). The capabilities of this model are tested by the use of multiyearly averaged January and July sea surface air temperature fields, sea level pressure fields and wind fields which can be diagnosed from the pressure fields. The results show that the simulated ocean surface currents and in undercurrents the second layer in winter and summer are close to the observation.
