Impact of Vertical Resolution on Representing Baroclinic Modes and Water Mass Distribution in the North Atlantic Circulation

This repository includes the model results presented in a manuscript submitted to JGR-Ocean "Impact of Vertical Resolution on Representing Baroclinic Modes and Water Mass Distribution in the North Atlantic Circulation":

1) an examination of the baroclinic mode representation (Rossby radius of deformation, vertical structure of the barolinic modes, etc)

2) the key model results of 5 Atlantic HYCOM simulations: SSH mean, variability, AMOC in z and density coordinates as a function of latitude and at observation latitudes (i.e., RAPID, OSNAP)
