Abstract
A high-resolution, multi-level, primitive equation ocean model is used
to examine the response of an idealized, flat-bottomed, eastern boundary
oceanic regime on a beta-plane to constant ocean thermal and wind forcing
by annual mean and seasonal mean climatologies. The focus of the study is
the Leeuwin Current along the coastal region, from 20° S to 35° S, off
Western Australia.
