In this paper, a fully implicit numerical model of the three-dimensional thermohaline ocean circulation is presented. With this numerical model it is possible to follow branches of steady states in parameter space and monitor their linear stability. Also, transient flows can be computed allowing muc

Optimizing some model parameters a reduced-form model of the Atlantic thermohaline circulation is ÿtted to data provided by a comprehensive climate model. Di erent techniques to compute stationary states of the reduced-form model are discussed. The ÿtting problem is formulated as weighted least-squa
In this article we present a new method of Rossby asymptotics for the equations of the atmosphere similar to the geostrophic asymptotics. We depart from the classical geostrophics (see J. G. Charney [5] and our previous article [29]) by considering an asymptotics valid for the whole atmosphere, not
## Abstract Numerical experiments with a two‐level, quasi‐geostrophic model, described by Davies and Davies (1969), have been extended in several ways; the grid spacing of the previous model has been halved, greatly reducing numerical errors, and the lateral East‐West span of the flow domain is muc
