Abstract—The paper gives a brief historical outline of JEBAR and its role in the ocean modeling, the cases of
plagiarism by W. Holland and other scholars, and the main scientific results obtained with the help of JEBAR,
JEBAR-2, and BARBE (baroclinic -effect). The paper consists of the following main sections: the use of
JEBAR as a correction of an error made by the authors of the method of mass flux; G. Neumann, P. Welander,
bottom pressure torque, and JEBAR; opposition in the Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sci-
ences; W. Holland and his disciples as would-be hijackers of JEBAR; wide recognition and mass plagiarism of
JEBAR in the English-language literature; JEBAR-2; the main results of the use of water baroclinicity, BARBE,
JEBARs, and other factors of ocean modeling; adaptation of thermohydrodynamic parameters and diagnosis of
long-term variations in the oceanic climate; and JEBAR and modern prognostic calculations.
