Theoretical Models of Ocean Circulation

在这个项目中，首席研究员将继续他在物理海洋学方面的基础研究，重点是双扩散和海洋环流。盐指过程将与一名海军科学家合作进行建模；建立示踪剂循环逆模型；并尝试用三层解析模型来模拟西部边界流。

In this project the principal investigator will continue his fundamental studies on physical oceanography, with emphasis on double diffusion and general ocean circulation. Salt finger processes will be modeled in collaboration with a Navy scientist; an inverse model of tracer circulation will be developed; and an attempt will be made to model western boundary currents with a three layer analytical model.
