A Global Ocean Circulation Model

小行星9402891 该项目包括进行长期（100年）与全球海洋模式的集成，该模式基于Bleck-Boudra GCM和俄勒冈州州立大学（OSU）为TMC CM 5计算机开发的大规模并行代码。 这项研究的重点是改善推动世界海洋温盐环流的表层通量和混合层过程。 将进行一系列理想化的过程实验，重点是中纬度风和浮力驱动的流动、混合层与副极地海冰的相互作用、涡旋在对流特性输送中的作用以及海底地形对中尺度涡旋动力学的影响。 在完成这些过程试验之后，将运行一个具有12个密度层和1/6度平均水平分辨率的完全全球涡旋分辨海洋环流模式。 ***

9402891 de Szoeke This project consists of conducting long-term integrations (100 years) with a global ocean model based on the Bleck-Boudra GCM with massive parallel code developed at Oregon State University (OSU) for the TMC CM5 computer. The focus of the study is on improvements on the surface fluxes and mixed layer processes that drive the thermohaline circulation of the world oceans. A series of idealized process experiments will be run focusing on mid-latitude wind- and buoyancy-driven flows, interaction of mixed layer and sea ice in sub-polar regions, the role of eddies in meridional transport of properties, and the influence of bottom topography on mesoscale eddy dynamics. After these process experiments are completed, a fully global eddy-resolving ocean circulation model will be run with 12 density layers and 1/6-degree mean horizontal resolution. ***
