Abstract

A simple linear model of the abyssal circulation is studied in which a north-south topographic slope influences the interior and boundary-layer flow. The reversals of the meridional velocity in the abyssal interior are related to the longitudinal variation of upwelling into the main thermocline. -from Authors
