In this project, the PI will study the response of the upper ocean to strong wind-forcing in the presence of mesoscale fronts and eddies in the ocean. A three-dimensional model will be implemented to test the hypothesis that the mechanism of radiation of internal-inertial waves out of the surface frontal zone has a larger impact on the variability of surface inertial currents than does modified Ekman transport. Data from a recent experiment called the Frontal Air-Sea INteraction EXperiment (FASINEX) will be used to verify the model results.

在这个项目中，PI将研究在海洋中尺度锋面和涡旋存在的情况下，上层海洋对强风强迫的反应。为了验证地表锋面区外的内惯性波辐射机制比修正的Ekman输运对地表惯性流变率的影响更大的假设，我们将实施一个三维模型。最近一项名为“锋面海气相互作用实验”（FASINEX）的实验数据将用于验证模型的结果。
