Institute of Natural and Technical Systems, Russian Federation, Sevastopol, Lenin St., 28

Using numerical simulation of two-layer ocean under the outer stationary vorticity flux and constant dissipation factors the investigation of the development of a large-scale circulation has been provided, there has been discovered the long-term energy oscillations mechanism. There have been analyzed the characters of large -scale circulation under the oscillation regime.

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