Residual-mean analysis of the air-sea fluxes and associated oceanic meridional overturning
The dynamic response of the oceanic mixed-layer to the thermodynamic forcing at the sea surface is analyzed in order to describe the pattern of the oceanic meridional overturning. The technique proposed in this study is based on residual-mean theory, which takes into account the transport of buoya...
