      The authors give a modified baroclinic-barotropic formulation of basic equations governing oceanographic motions assuming the Boussinesq approximation. The main distinction of the considered approach is that the surface pressure is not needed explicitly any more, and the incompressibility condition is satisfied automatically. This further proves important in numerical simulations of wind-driven ocean dynamics as shown in numerical examples at the end of the article.
