| Research Abstract |
The semi-prognostic method, which introduces a correction term for potential temperature and salinity to the horizontal momentum equation, is applied to an idealized three-dimensional model of buoyancy-driven flow in a single hemisphere. The magnitude of the meridional overturning circulation(MOC) with realistic stratification as well as vertical diffusivity is small, suggesting that the magnitude of the MOC might be overestimated by the previous measurements, and/or that a substantial part of the MOC might be driven by dynamical processes other than vertical diffusion.
