9401300 Price The study consists of a series of numerical experiments to study the broadening of outflows of dense water from marginal seas to adjacent oceans. The method will be to run a three-dimensional ocean model and analyze the simulated outflows that will be guided by existing observations. The model uses the hydrostatic primitive equations, with horizontal resolution of 5 km along- stream, and 2 km across-stream on a 60 x 100 grid (domain size is 300 by 200 km). Specific questions to be addressed are: (1) what processes set the range of the product water T-S characteristics in a given outflow?; (2) how does the overlying ocean circulation interact with an outflow?; and, (3) can a large scale baroclinic instability of an outflow alter the mean T-S characteristics of the product water? ***

9401300价格 这项研究包括一系列数值试验，以研究从边缘海到邻近海洋的稠密水外流的扩大。 该方法将运行一个三维海洋模型，并分析将由现有观测指导的模拟外流。 该模式使用流体静力学原始方程，在60 × 100网格上（区域大小为300 × 200 km），水平分辨率为沿沿着流5 km，跨流2 km。 要解决的具体问题是：（1）在给定的流出物中，什么过程设定了产品水T-S特性的范围？(2)上覆的海洋环流如何与外流相互作用？（3）出流的大尺度斜压不稳定是否会改变产物水的平均T-S特征？ ***
