Laboratory and numerical investigations of the dynamics of ocean circulation will be conducted. The central focus is the combined effect of different external forcing mechanisms, such as sea surface buoyancy flux and stresses, and stresses at the sea floor. Several poorly understood physical mechanisms of importance to ocean general circulation models like the subduction of mixed layer fluid, the recirculation between the mixed layer and the interior, and the effect of sloping boundary layer on deep western boundary currents will be studied.

海洋动力学的实验室和数值研究 将进行循环。 中心焦点是 不同的外部强迫机制的影响，如海洋 表面浮力通量和应力，以及海底应力。 几个鲜为人知的重要物理机制， 混合层俯冲等海洋环流模式 流体，混合层和内部之间的再循环， 以及倾斜边界层对深部西边界的影响 将研究电流。
