Abstract

A linear, barotropic model of the North Atlantic at 1° × 1° resolution is employed. The wind-stress climatologies are those of da Silva et al. (DS), Hellerman and Rosenstein (HR), Isemer and Hasse (IH), and Trenberth et al. (TR). For each climatology, the model shows maximum northward transport in the summer and minima in the fall and late winter, in general agreement with transport measurements from cable data (Larsen). However, the amplitude of the model response differs considerably between the climatologies. -from Authors
