Modeling Tropical Western Boundary Circulation

在这个项目中，私家侦探将使用建模技术来研究热带西部边界洋流的动力学。在印度洋，他们将完成对阿拉伯海冷却的研究，更密切地调查在倾斜的西部边界上静止涡流的产生，并探索迫使索马里北部海岸形成暗流的各种机制。在大西洋，他们将专注于分离北巴西洋流的远程和局部强迫的影响，在太平洋，他们将研究最近在巴布亚新几内亚北部发现的地下边界流的原因。

In this project, the P.I.'s will use modeling techniques to investigate the dynamics of tropical western-boundary currents. In the Indian Ocean, they will complete their study of Arabian Sea cooling, investigate more closely the generation of stationary eddies on slanted western boundaries, and explore various mechanisms for forcing an undercurrent along the northern Somali coast. In the Atlantic, they will focus on isolating the effects of remote and local forcing of the North Brazil Current, and in the Pacific, they will study the causes of a sub-surface boundary current recently discovered north of Papua New Guinea.
