Peng, T H; Broecker, W S

To evaluate the impacts on the CO/sub 2/ content of the atmosphere caused by possible differences between the operation of the glacial and the interglacial ocean-atmosphere systems, an 11-box global ocean model was developed which operates something like the real system. The individual reservoirs in this model are identified as (1) northern Atlantic, (2) surface Atlantic, (3) intermediate North Atlantic, (4) deep Atlantic, (5) intermediate South Atlantic, (6) surface Antarctic, (7) deep Antarctic, (8) intermediate Indopacific, (9) surface Indopacific, (10) deep Indopacific, and (11) northern Pacific. This report discusses the basic model structure. 5 figs., 1 tab. (ACR)
