Abstract:

   Using numerical simulation of two-layer ocean under the outer stationary vorticity flux the investigation of the development of a large-scale circulation has been provided. The space and time scales estimates of stream velocity oscillations in numerical experiments have been discussed and compared with the characteristics of large-scale circulation.

Кeywords: synoptic variability, large-scale variability, wind-forced currents.
