Abstract
The vertical flux beneath the surface boundary layer is determined by balancing the divergence induced in this layer by the prescribed wind stress and surface temperature with the divergence of an assumed geostrophic interior ftow. In this manner the equilibrium surface height over an enclosed basin is formulated as a boundary-value problem, the solution of which leads directly to the Ekman vertical velocity....
