OCE 96-16017 Young The project will consist of theoretical work in two general areas: Investigation of the mixed layer temperature-salinity (T-S) relationship and development of a description of near- inertial wave propagation. The mixed layer T-S study will concentrate on clarifying how two competing mechanisms for the diffusive flux of T and S act on different horizontal length scales. The theory developed in this part of the study will be tested through the evaluation of field data to be collected as part of another recently funded NSF project. The near inertial wave propagation study will benefit from a new approach with several distinct advantages over existing theories.

OCE 96-16017 Young 该项目将包括两个一般领域的理论工作：混合层温度-盐度（T-S）关系的调查和近惯性波传播的描述的发展。混合层T-S研究将集中于阐明T和S扩散通量的两种竞争机制如何作用于不同的水平长度尺度。在这一部分的研究中开发的理论将通过评估收集的现场数据进行测试，作为另一个最近资助的NSF项目的一部分。 近惯性波传播的研究将受益于一种新的方法，与现有的理论有几个明显的优势。
