Idealized two-layer simulation. a Model basin with a depth of 5500 m. The bottom topography with a height of 500 m is depicted by green lines denoting ocean depth contours of 5500 m and 5000 m. Solid contours denote wind-driven transport function (×106 m3 s−1). b Bottom Topography Case. Upper layer thickness anomaly (color shade; m), upper layer velocity (arrow) and characteristic curves Qc with a contour interval of 0.5 × 106 m3 s−1 are shown. Green box denotes the location of bottom topography. c Barotropic streamfunction (shade ×106 m3 s−1) and f/H (contour interval 0.1 × 10−8 m−1 s−1) for Bottom Topography Case. Green box indicates the location of bottom topography. d Same as b but for No Bottom Topography Case
