One
annual cycle of upper ocean
variability
is illustrated by
imaging
the temperature field
and
superimposing the vertical
coordinate
interfaces and the
mixed
layer base (thick line).
The
annual cycle at point EQTR
represents
variability at the
Equator.
Results are generally
similar,
but summer upper ocean
cooling
due to enhanced
equatorial
upwelling is stronger
in
the MICOM mode case.
