A three-year modeling study will address equatorial and coastal ocean circulation, using a 2.5-layer numerical model that includes thermodynamics, and allows entrainment and detrainment between layers. Specific applications are: 1. Determination of which processes are necessary to make the model realistic; 2. Stability of equatorial and coastal currents; 3. Extension to mid-latitudes to address subduction; 4. Frontal Instabilities; 5. Effects of turbulent coastal flow on biological processes; and 6. Westward propagation of coastally generated gyres.

一项为期三年的建模研究将使用包含热力学在内的 2.5 层数值模型来解决赤道和沿海海洋环流问题，并允许各层之间的夹带和滞留。 具体应用是： 1. 确定哪些过程是使模型真实化所必需的； 2、赤道和沿岸流的稳定性； 3. 扩展到中纬度地区以解决俯冲问题； 4. 正面不稳定； 5. 沿海湍流对生物过程的影响； 6. 沿海产生的环流向西传播。
