Abstract
We apply equilibrium statistical mechanics based upon the conservation of energy and potential enstrophy to the mass–density distribution within the ocean, using a Monte Carlo method that conserves the buoyancy of each fluid particle. The equilibrium state resembles the buoyancy structure actually observed.
