A simple and self-consistent geostrophic-force-balance model of the thermohaline circulation with boundary mixing
A simple model of the thermohaline circulation (THC) is formulated, with the objective to represent explicitly the geostrophic force balance of the basinwide THC. The model comprises advective-diffusive density balances in two meridional-vertical planes located at the eastern and the western walls o...
