The effect of the horizontal coordinate system on Atlantic meri- dional overturning circulation （AMOC） is evaluated by using an OGCM （ocean general circulation model）. Two ex- periments are conducted with the model---one using a latitude-longitude grid （referred to as Latl） and the other us- ing a tripolar grid （referred to as Tri）. The results show that Tri simulates a stronger North Atlantic deep water （NADW） than Lat_l, as more saline water masses enter the Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian （GIN） seas in Tri. The stronger NADW can be attributed to two factors. One is the removal of the zonal filter in Tri, which leads to an in- creasing of the zonal gradient of temperature and salinity, thus strengthening the north geostrophic flow. In turn, it decreases the positive subsurface temperature and salinity biases in the subtropical regions. The other may be associ- ated with topography at the North Pole, because realistic topography is applied in the tripolar grid while the latitude-longitude grid employs an artificial island around the North Pole. In order to evaluate the effect of the filter on AMOC, three enhanced filter experiments are carried out. Compared to Lat_l, an enhanced filter can also aug- ment NADW formation, since more saline water is suppressed in the GIN seas, but accumulated in the Labrador Sea, especially in experiment Lat_2 S, which is the experiment with an enhanced filter on salinity.展开更多
