Fig. 3. Inertial anticyclonic baroclinic circulation in a two-layer ocean. The contours of 

 depth and the transport function are shown for the regions of acceleration and 

 deceleration near the meridional boundaries. The solid lines indicate volume trans- 

 port at intervals of 16 x 10^ m^ sec^l. The maximum transport is 64 x 10^ m^ sec~l. 

 Profiles of the uppfer layer along the meridional boundaries (/ijjo) ^r^d in the interior 

 are also shown. The depth in the boundary regions is everywhere less than or equal to 

 the interior depth.

Fig. 4. Depth profiles of the upper layer for inertial cyclonic baroclinic circulation in a 

 two-layer ocean. The line labelled /i^o indicates the depth along the western and 

 eastern boundaries and h^ along a meridian in the interior of the ocean. The depth in 

 the boundary regions is everywhere greater than or equal to the interior depth.
