Simulation of the global ocean response to warming and cooling the surface waters at century scale

A three-dimensional large-scale geostrophic model of climate of the World Ocean with realistic topography is presented. The experiments on the response of the model on variations of the ocean surface temperature were carried out: warming by 1.5 degrees during 50 years, cooling by 1.5 degrees during 50 years, and warming-cooling together with the same amplitude. It has appeared that the global ocean model stronger and longer responses to cooling than to warming.
