摘要
The driving mechanism of thermohaline circulation is still a controversial topic in physical oceanography.Classic theory is based on Stommel's two-box model under buoyancy constraint.Recently,Guan and Huang proposed a new viewpoint in the framework of energy constraint with a two-box model.We extend it to a three-box model,including the effect of wind-driven circulation.Using this simple model,we further study how ocean mixing impacts on thermohaline circulation under the energy constraint.
