| The
annually-averaged meridional |
||||||||||
| overturning
circulation is graphed for |
||||||||||
| six
HYCOM simulations as a function |
||||||||||
| of
latitude and density. The five |
||||||||||
| simulations
without relaxation BC’s |
||||||||||
| are
very similar to each other. |
||||||||||
| Relaxation
BC’s clearly enhance the |
||||||||||
| meridional
overturning circulation and |
||||||||||
| induces
a deep circulation cell |
||||||||||
| associated
with the northward flow |
||||||||||
| of bottom water |
