This proposal addresses questions in ocean circulation by using theoretical models and laboratory experiments. The primary issues concern the control of the circulation by bottom contours and atmospheric forcing. The investigator will consider the significance of abyssal overflows into a basin, the modification of the near surface layer by ocean stratification, and the time dependent adjustment of the circulation to changes in key parameters.

本建议通过运用理论模型和实验室实验来解决海洋环流中的问题。主要问题是由底部轮廓线和大气强迫控制环流。研究者将考虑深海溢流进入盆地的重要性，海洋分层对近表层的改变，以及环流对关键参数变化的随时间调整。
