This work gives a detailed account of the dynamical balance of a wind-driven zonally unboun- ded flow over topography. The problem is investigated with a quasigeostrophic 6-plane channel model with two layers and eddy resolution. The channel has a width of 1500 km and a zonal periodicity of 4000 km. Apart from the dimensions the model structure is similar to the one used by McWilliams et a.l. (1978). The experiments with this model address the problem of the relative role of transient and standing eddies as well as bottom friction and topographic form stress in the balance of a current driven by a steady surface windstress. The response of the system is investi- gated for different values of the friction parameter and various locations of t...
