The Effects of Mesoscale Ocean–Atmosphere Coupling on the Quasigeostrophic Double Gyre
We investigate the effects of sea surface temperature (SST)-dependent wind stress on the wind-driven quasigeostrophic (QG) double gyre. The main effects are to reduce the strength of the circulation and to shift the inter-gyre jet to the south. The SST front across the inter-gyre jet induces a zonal...
