Fig.4.3 The surf ace elevation (left panels) and the total stream function (right panels) after
360 days of ca1culation using a constant viscosity of AM = 1 0 4 m 2 s -1 ; results are shown for
the z-level grid (top panels a and b), the s grid (middle panels c and d) and the generalized s
grid (bottom panels e and t), Contour intervals are 5 cm in (a), (c) and (e) and 5 Sv (l
Sv=10 6 m 3 s-I ) in (b), (d) and (t),
