Fig.4.5 North-south zonal velocity cross sections at the center of the domain after 360
days for (a) the z - grid , (b) the s grid and (c) the generalized s grid; AM =10 4 m 2 s -1 .
Contour interval is 0.5 cm s -1 ; dashed contours represent negative values and westward
flows.
GFDL model cannot tolerate the Smagorinsky fonnulation and we have also found
this to be the case in the present z - level model.
