Abstract
The results of an intercomparison experiment performed with five numerical ocean models of different architecture are presented, While all models are able to simulate the large-scale characteristics of the North Atlantic circ ulation with a fair degree of realism, they also exhibit differences that c an be attributed to the choices made in vertical coordinates, domain size, and boundary conditions.
