OCE-9730639 Barth The project is to finish the analysis of the data collected during the Coastal Jet Separation experiment and to definitively evaluate dynamical theories for the separation from the coast of an along-shore upwelling jet. Analysis tasks include construction and interpretation of sections and maps of potential vorticity, spiciness and ADCP stream- function. Dynamical insights will be gained by applying steady, layered, potential vorticity conserving models, but extensions to time-dependent model will be pursued as needed.

该项目将完成对海岸射流分离实验期间收集的数据的分析，并最终评估沿岸上升流射流与海岸分离的动力学理论。分析任务包括构造和解释位涡度、辣度和ADCP流函数的剖面和图。动力学方面的见解将通过应用稳定的、分层的、势涡守恒的模型来获得，但根据需要，将扩展到依赖于时间的模型。
