Theoretical Models of Ocean Circulation

9312523，PI-Veronis：该提案旨在探索影响大规模海洋环流过程的理论思想。 这些理论研究部分是分析的，部分是数值的。 它们将辅之以地形对流动影响的实验，这些实验在实验室的旋转转台上模拟大规模海洋环流。 此外，提出了一个实验研究，以确定在实验室中的热盐异常的大小对盐指的高度的影响。

9312523, PI-Veronis: This proposal is for the exploration of theoretical ideas of processes that influence large scale ocean circulation. These theoretical studies are partly analytical and partly numerical. They are to be supplemented with experiments on the effects of topography on flows which simulate large scale ocean circulation on a rotating turn-table in the laboratory. In addition, an experimental study is proposed to determine the influence of the magnitude of the heat and salt anomalies on the height of salt fingers in the laboratory.
