Ocean Basin Geometry and the Salinification of the Atlantic Ocean

A coupled atmosphere-sea ice-ocean model is used in an aqua-planet setting to examine the role of the basin geometry for the climate and ocean circulation. The basin geometry has a present-day-like topology with two idealized northern basins and a circumpolar ocean in the south. A suite of experimen...
