Analysis of the Shelf Mixed Layer Experiment (SMILE) Data Set

在这个项目中，PI将继续研究大陆架表面边界层对大气强迫的响应，通过分析大陆架混合层实验（SMILE）的数据。SMILE于1988年11月中旬至1989年5月中旬在加利福尼亚北部大陆架上空进行，包括系泊和陆基海洋和大气时间序列测量，以及一架仪器飞机的飞越。解决几个具体任务将导致陆架表面边界层的季节性行为及其对大气强迫的响应的连贯画面。

In this project, the PI's will continue to study the response of the continental shelf surface boundary layer to atmospheric forcing through analysis of data from a major collaborative field experiment, SMILE (Shelf Mixed Layer Experiment). SMILE was conducted over the northern California shelf from mid-November, 1988 to mid-May, 1989 and included moored and land-based ocean and atmospheric time series measurements and overflights with an instrumented aircraft. Addressing several specific tasks will lead to a coherent picture of the seasonal behavior of the shelf surface boundary layer and its response to atmospheric forcing.
