Fig. 4.10.5a-f. Solution for the three layer model with a variable thickness mixed layer. a Domains
of the flow described in the text. Note the appearance of a shadow zone in layer 2. b Streamfunction
in layer 3. c Streamfunction in layer 2. d Streamfunction in layer I. e Meridional cross section
showing layer thicknesses as a function of latitude halfway across the basin. f Zonal cross section
of layer thicknesses
