This project has two objectives: to study the formation processes of the intermediate depth water which has its origins in the Labrador Sea, and to study the various solutions to the non-linear equations governing thermohaline circulations in the ocean. In the former, an analysis of the data from the North Atlantic suggests that buoyancy forcing is the primary cause of the water mass formation. A simple model will be constructed to elucidate the physical processes. In the second aspect, it is known that several mathematical solutions to the thermohaline equations bear much similarity to the distribution of ocean tracers. However, a number of solutions have yet to be obtained and tested against the oceanographic data sets to determine other fundamental relationships. This task involves the orderly examination of a number of such solutions.

该项目有两个目标：研究 中层深水的形成过程 在拉布拉多海，并研究各种解决方案， 控制温盐环流的非线性方程 海洋 在前者中，对来自北方的数据进行了分析， 大西洋认为浮力作用力是 水团的形成。 将构建一个简单的模型， 阐明物理过程。 第二方面， 已知温盐线的几个数学解 方程与海洋的分布有很大的相似性 追踪器 然而，一些解决方案尚未得到解决。 并根据海洋学数据集进行测试，以确定其他 基本关系。 这项任务涉及到 研究了一些这样的解决方案。
