The effect on ocean circulation of a change in the sign of β
By: K. H. Brink, G. Veronis and C. C. Yang
Abstract
The purpose of this note is to clarify an issue raised originally by Welander (1968) and subsequently discussed by Kamenkovitch & Mitrofanov (1971), Johnson et al. (1971) and Fandry & Leslie (1972). When the depth of the ocean varies, the variation of the parameter f/h, where f is the Coriolis parameter and h is the depth of the (homogeneous) ocean, determines the form of the interior flow.
