Abstract

By means of an eddy-resolving model, calculation of the eddy meridional heat transport (EMHT) in the World Ocean has been performed. Its distribution is associated with intense currents and forms several characteristic types of structures. Comparison with results of other models shows that for the correct reproduction of EMHT, an explicit description of the eddy dynamics is preferable.
