Fate of sTJ
The fate of the southern TJ is not clear. Recirculates to flow westward in EIC
(Rowe et al. 2000)? Upwells at the coast of Peru? The “primary” sTJ recirculates and
“secondary” sTJ upwells at Peru (Ishida et al. 2005)?

Arrested fronts
McCreary et al.’s (2002) 2 ½-layer model: Layer 2 contains the TJ; Streamfunction h characteristics:
ug and vg are geostrophic components of Sverdrup flow;
vg bends characteristics meridionally; Arrested front occurs where
characteristics overlap.

Summary of the nTJ solutions
The summary is almost the same as that of sTJ.
A nTJ and thick thermostad are reproduced.
The hierarchy of solutions agrees with 2½ -layer ones.
The nTJ becomes warmer to the east because it is supplied by water that diverges from the lower part of the EUC.
But, there is one more interesting thing….

Alternative formalisms of eddy flux
Eddy form stress (F*): vertical transfer of horizontal momentum.
Bolus transport (U*). Isopycnal PV flux.
Under geostrophy, these formalisms are largely equivalent (Greatbatch 1998).
curl F* ≈ f div U*, f u* = – hq u

Alternative formalisms (cont’d)
In our e –only solution, curl F* ≈ f div U* holds, and a similar diagnostic model driven by the OGCM’s div U* reproduces the subsurface recirculation.

Conclusions
A non-eddy-permitting OGCM reproduces TJs with properties similar to those for arrested fronts.
The deep part of EUC leaves the equator to be the top part of the TJs.
eastward warming of the TJs.
Eddy form stress drives a deep, cyclonic and anticyclonic gyres.

Conclusions (cont’d)
Diffusion of any sort acts to erode the thermostad and, hence, to weaken the TJs.
