Abstract
A simple, idealized model ocean, which roughly models the north Pacific Ocean, is driven by wind stress, heat and salinity flux through the sea surface. Different formulations are used for the heat and salinity flux, Newtonian damping type for heat flux versus fixed flux for salinity. The model starts vacillating with a period of about 23 years, even though the boundary conditions remain constant. It takes place in the northern portion of the model ocean, where stratified and deep convected state appear alternatively. Dependence of this vacillation on several parameters are examined.
