Simulation and sensitivity studies will be done to evaluate the potential for using electro-magnetic (EM) techniques to determine large-scale properties of oceanic transport. Output from the Community Modeling Effort (CME) will be used to provide gridded information at basin scale for the North Atlantic Ocean. Special attention will be on the effects of seafloor topography, spatial variation of the geomagnetic field, variable sediment thickness, and non-locally generated electric currents.

将进行模拟和敏感性研究，以评估使用电磁(EM)技术确定海洋运输的大尺度特性的潜力。社区建模工作(CME)的成果将用于提供北大西洋流域尺度的网格信息。将特别注意海底地形、地磁场的空间变化、不同的沉积物厚度和非本地产生的电流的影响。
