Benthic Frontogenesis in the Florida Straits

9711452本项目将对上升流状态下的底栖生物锋面进行模拟研究。利用数值模拟和对佛罗里达海峡现有观测数据的分析，这项研究将研究混合参数化、可变强迫和层结、动量平流和三维地形如何影响海底锋面的发展和演变，以及它与海洋内部的相互作用。本研究将现有的一维边界层滞留理论扩展到变坡度和闭合截面区域。

9711452 Seim This project will carry out a modeling study of the benthic front in an upwelling regime. Using numerical modeling and the analysis of existing observations from Florida Strait, the study will examine how mixing parametrization, variable forcing and stratification, advection of momentum and three- dimensional topography influence the development and evolution of a benthic front, and its interaction with the ocean interior. This study expands existing one-dimensional theories of arrested boundary layers to areas of changing slope and closed cross-sections.
