Development of models for the general
circulation of the ocean started later, but has proceeded in a similar manner.
Not exact matches
There may be reason to strongly suspect that in any sufficiently complicated dynamical system model (such as climate) with stochastic parameters (e.g., exactly when and where a lightning strike
starts a major wildfire or a major submarine earthquake perturbs
ocean circulation in a region or a major volcanic eruption introduces stratospheric aerosols), it is almost certain that any given run
of the model will have periods
of significant deviation from the mean
of multiple runs.
The Zhang & McPhadden papers do indeed highlight the spin - down and then spin - up
of the wind - driven
ocean circulation, but one place to start is: Interaction between the Subtropical and Equatorial Ocean Circulations: The Subtropical Cell -(McCreary & Lu 1

The details
of the
ocean and atmospheric links are fascinating — it is postulated that it
starts with solar uv / ozone chemistry modulating
ocean and atmospheric
circulation throughout the system.
They are being pushed out
of the Arctic
Ocean by a
circulation pattern that
starts over near Siberia; occasionally you'll see a Siberian tree washed ashore along this coast
of Greenland.
«Salt plays a far more important role that we first thought,» says Rainer Zahn, a palaeoclimatologist at the Autonomous University
of Barcelona in Spain.Zahn and his colleagues found that a build up
of salty water off the coast
of South Africa could jump
start ocean circulation in the North Atlantic (this despite the two regions being thousands
of kilometers apart) while a reduction in the South African waters» saltiness could cause the opposite effect.
The disruption
of the jet stream
started from the unusual regions
of Arctic
Ocean open water stabilizing the Polar
circulation flow from the Pole Southwards.
More to the point, within a relatively short time
of starting this pumping scheme, natural
ocean circulation would be disrupted.
