Balanced Models of the Gyre-Scale Ocean Circulation

在这个项目中，P.I.的将继续发展， 环流尺度海洋中间模式的应用 基于平衡方程（BE）的循环。 BE包含更多 动力学比准地转（QG）模型，但需要 比原始方程的计算机容量小得多， (PE)模型 风和热力强迫都包括在内。 成功的绝热模型将被扩展到包括非绝热的 浮力和风强迫的影响，以及相关的次网格尺度 混合算法

In this project, the P.I.'s will continue development and application of intermediate models of the gyre-scale ocean circulation based on the balance equations (BE). BE contains more dynamics than the quasi-geostrophic (QG) models, but requires substantially less computer capacity than the primitive equation (PE) models. Wind and thermal forcing are both included. Successful adiabatic models will be extended to include diabatic effects of buoyancy and wind forcing, and related sub-grid-scale mixing algorithms.
