51263677 | However, there is an interesting analogy to the operation of a whistle in the way water flows into the semi-enclosed Caribbean Sea, flows out of it, and interacts within that basin. The net inflow and outflow required to explain the basin-averaged pressure signal is only a tiny fraction (about 1/1000) of the observed changes in flows through individual straits. This means that the bottom pressure signal is a side effect of the oscillating mode operating in a basin which can exchange mass with the wider ocean. This is analogous to the operation of a whistle or similar musical instrument. | 594 |
