Collaborative Research: U.S. GLOBEC: Remote Physical Forcing on Georges Bank

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

9603000 LYNCH The project focuses on the hydrodynamics observed on Georges Bank. The project will dynamically link the Dartmouth Georges Bank (GB) model with the Rutgers North Atlantic Basin (NAB) model in order to conduct a quantitative investigation of dynamical linkages between Georges Bank and the adjacent basin-scale ocean. If successful, the work will strengthen the predictability of how circulation fields (e.g., mesoscale rings and eddies, fronts, etc.) operate at the shelf break and seaward. The development of simulations from the GLOBEC process studies and on the identification of interannual variability in remote forcing effects on Georges Bank will be emphasized. This project is a part of the U.S. GLOBEC Northwest Atlantic Field Studies, Phase 2 program. ***
