Gk. Korotaev et Ai. Kubryakov, A PARTICULAR SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF C IRCULATION FOR CONTINUOUSLYSTRATIFIED THERMOCLINE, Izvestia Akademii nauk. Rossijskaa akademia nauk. Fizika atmosfery iokeana, 29(6), 1993, pp. 815-820
A particular solution for thermocline with ideal continuously stratifi
ed fluid is proposed. With appropriate choice of function specifying t
he relation between potential vorticity, density and Bernoulli functio
n this solution describes three-dimensional thermocline and current st
ructures in subtropical and subpolar gyres qualitatively correct.
