The Dynamics of Coastal Fronts and Jets

海岸上升流锋和急流在一般海岸中的作用 环流将通过数值实验进行检查， 超级计算机使用连续方程，三维， 时变数值模型 可能，跨货架 在前沿存在的情况下， 这个项目将使我们了解 支持每一个过程。 此外，各种时间尺度 中尺度锋面特征将被描述。

The role of coastal upwelling fronts and jets in general coastal circulation will be examined through numerical experiments on a supercomputer using a primitive-equation, three-dimensional, time-dependent numerical model. Potentially, cross-shelf exchange may be inhibited or enhanced in the presence of fronts and this project will lead to insight about the conditions that favor each process. Additionally the time scales for various mesoscale frontal features will be described.
