Rothstein 9613363 A mesoscale ocean data assimilation will be developed for the Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) program to produce a dynamically consistent atlas of oceanic fields to be made available to all COARE Investigators and then use this atlas to investigate upper ocean physical processes in warm pool of the western tropical Pacific Ocean. In particular, the importance of salinity advection within the thermocline and the influence of the three-dimensional circulation on mixed layer evolution will be assessed. Finally, the evolution of energetic sub- mesoscale eddies during equatorial jet spin-down will studied.

Rothstein 9613363中尺度海洋数据同化将用于热带海洋全球大气(TOGA)计划的耦合海洋大气响应实验(COARE)，以产生一个动态一致的海洋场图集，供所有COARE研究人员使用，然后利用该图集研究热带西太平洋暖池的上层海洋物理过程。特别是，将评估温跃层内盐度平流的重要性以及三维环流对混合层演变的影响。最后，我们将研究赤道急流自旋过程中高能亚中尺度涡旋的演化。
