Work under this award will investigate the possibility that             the equator may exercise an important control on the deep global                circulation of an ocean driven by the thermal contrast between                  polar and tropical regions.  Both a linear analytic model and a                 nonlinear numerical model of the equatorial ocean will be used to               study the response of the deep equatorial ocean to the buoyancy                 loss that produces dense waters at high latitudes.  Particular                  attention will be paid to the geometry and the dynamics of the                  cross-equatorial flow.  Another focus will be on the possibility                that the high-latitude buoyancy forcing may drive the highly                    baroclinic zonal jets along the equator that have been observed                 in both the Pacific and the Indian oceans.
