A Three Dimensional Model of the Wind Driven Horizontal Velocities in the North Atlantic Ocean. Part I. Discussion and Mean Circulation in the North Atlantic,

Abstract

Starting with the wind stress over the North Atlantic Ocean computed by Hidaka (1958), a model of the three dimensional picture of the horizontal velocity is developed. This is presented as a possible climatological atlas for the currents. Limitations of the method are discussed.
