A portion of the numerical grid, with a 10 km spatial interval, is given in the lower left-hand corner of the model basin. 4. Application of the numerical model The results of several applications of the numerical model are presented. Two of the numerical integrations consider only flow in the upper layer, while a third case allows flow in both layers. A complete parametric study involving the frictional coefficients was not conducted. However, one test was made to assess the effect of lateral friction on a steady flow regime. The results of this model are presented in the following discussion. a. Comparison of frictional and fridionless model results Fig. 12 gives the upper layer thicknesses determined from the frictionless inertial model of Saylor (dashed lines) and the present inertial frictional model (solid lines). In both cases the depth of the 10°C isotherm along 84°30'W during March 1958 was used to specify the geostrophic mass influx at the eastern boundary. Also, the flow is normal to the eastern boundary in both incidents. The inertial-frictional model was spun up to nearly steady state in 600 time steps (At = 2 h) using a lateral frictional coefficient of 500 m2 s_1. The lower layer was 654.
