Martin and Sergey, I have been following your discussion with some 
interest.  I don't understand why a constant in time surface pressure 
forcing would establish a non-zero circulation at steady state.  Isn't 
the inverse barometer adjustment meant to insure that there is no such 
circulation, i.e., that (for a flat ocean) the pressure at the bottom of 
be constant?
