9616951 Yang In this project, the PIs will address the poor state of model representation of overflow processes from marginal seas into the open ocean by implementing and improving a simple marginal-sea model into the GFDL MOM. Specifically, they plan to include a contribution from wind-driven circulation to open ocean-marginal sea exchange, and to allow a finite storage capacity of the marginal sea. Their previous work demonstrated that they can couple a marginal sea model with a GCM.

在本项目中，pi将通过在GFDL MOM中实现和改进一个简单的边缘海模型来解决边缘海向公海溢流过程的模型表示不佳的问题。具体来说，他们计划将风驱动环流的贡献纳入开放的海洋-边缘海交换，并允许边缘海的有限存储容量。他们之前的工作表明，他们可以将边缘海模型与GCM结合起来。
