摘要：
In this article, we study the baroclinic flow in the primitive equations (PEs) of the ocean, which are known to be the fundamental equations of the ocean, [4]-[8]. We prove that the magnitude of the baroclinic flow in the L-2-norm is of order O(delta), where delta is the aspect ratio of the ocean. Some numerical simulations of the PEs of the ocean consistent with these estimates are also presented.
