This paper discusses the following topics on oceanic circulation modeling: time splitting in context of the nonlinear primitive equations; analysis of the stability of this splitting when applied to a linearized flow in two-layer fluid with one horizontal dimensions and a flat lower boundary; analysis of this splitting for horizontal dimensions in a rotating reference frame with constant coriolis parameters; and then numerical tests of the new splitting are discussed.
