Creativity Award in Engineering

在过去的二十年里，主要是由于计算方法的应用增加，海洋已经变得可以通过观察和实验以外的手段来理解。现在，数值分析允许在海洋尺度上观察经典的解析行为。这项研究的目的是建立大尺度海洋和/或大气环流的动态、物理和图形实验室模型；以更易于访问的方式呈现数据。这最终将有利于海洋探索和未来水下居住的可能性。

In the last twenty years, largely due to the increased application of computational methods, the ocean has become understandable through means other than observation and experimentation. Now numerical analysis permits observation of classic analytic behaviors on the scale of an ocean. %%% The purpose of this research is to develop dynamic, physical, and graphic laboratory models of large scale ocean and/or atmospheric circulation; presenting data in a more accessible manner. This will ultimately benefit ocean exploration and future possibilities of underwater habitation.
