A series of wind-driven isopycnic coordinate model experiments are described and analyzed. In five preliminary experiments, a progression is established from the simple calculations of part 1 of this paper (Bleck and Smith, 1990) to multilayer simulations incorporating realistic forcing in a framework of coarse-mesh Atlantic basin geometry and smoothed bottom topography. The primary experiment, a five-layer seasonally forced model run, simulates known features of the annual mean wind-driven circulation of the Atlantic, including a subtropical western boundary current separating from the coast near Cape Hatteras and a subpolar western boundary current flowing past the Grand Banks. The model reproduces (though with reduced amplitude) the annual cycle of Florida Current transport, seasonal variations in the equatorial region (including seasonal heat transport) and seasonal sea level cycles in the vicinity of strong currents. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1990
