On western sides of ocean basins are strong boundary layers which transport water and heat poleward and equatorward. Many conceptual models have been developed to understand these processes. This effort will focus on simplified models of the boundary layer and include topographic and inertial effects. As a related issue, dispersion of properties will be investigated. They are dependent on the level of turbulence which is controlled by instabilities of the boundary flow.

在海洋盆地的西侧是强边界层 向极地和赤道输送水和热。 许多 已经开发了概念模型来理解这些 流程. 这项工作将侧重于简化模型的 边界层，包括地形和惯性效应。 作为 将研究一个相关的问题，即性质的分散。 它们取决于被控制的湍流水平 边界流的不稳定性。
