Whitehead 9633063 A laboratory and theoretical study of buoyancy-driven flows involving pairs of driving forces, either from temperature and salinity, or from temperature and surface stress, will be conducted to see if multiple states predicted in simple models also exist in more complex system. To that end additional physical processes known to be important in the ocean, such as vertical transport, rotation and surface stress will be included in later experiments. The results will more clearly quantify the interdependence of salt forcing and heat flow in the ocean and the role of double diffusion and wind stress.

Whitehead 9633063浮力驱动流的实验室和理论研究涉及到成对的驱动力，无论是从温度和盐度，或从温度和表面应力，将进行，看看在简单的模型中预测的多个状态也存在于更复杂的系统。为此目的，在以后的实验中将包括已知在海洋中重要的其他物理过程，例如垂直迁移、旋转和表面应力。研究结果将更清楚地量化海洋中盐强迫和热流的相互依赖性以及双重扩散和风应力的作用。
