U.S.-Germany Cooperative Research: Numerical Modeling of Motional Induction in the Ocean

9732615桑福德这个提案（“海洋感应的数值模拟”）支持PI托马斯·桑福德和华盛顿大学的博士后罗伯特·泰勒与德国汉堡气候研究中心的约瑟夫·奥伯胡伯合作研究项目。这项研究将创建第一个通用的三维时间相关模型，能够计算全球海洋产生的电磁场。该模型将通过扩展Oberhuber小组已经开发的复杂模型来发展。模拟将研究非局部和瞬态海洋产生的电磁场，这将有助于解释海洋流动的当前数据；研究海洋潮汐产生的全球电磁场；利用该模型描述了低频海洋变率产生的磁场的变率和分布；并利用该模型评估利用卫星磁测量监测海洋变化的可能性。

9732615SanfordThis proposal ("Numerical Modeling of Motional Induction in the Ocean") supports a collaboration between the PI, Thomas Sanford and a postdoc, Robert Tyler, from the University of Washington in a cooperative research project with Josef Oberhuber at the Center for Climate Research in Hamburg, Germany. The research will create the first general three-dimensional time-dependent model capable of calculating the general global ocean-generated electromagnetic fields. The model will be developed by extending a sophisticated model already developed by Oberhuber's group. Simulations will study the non-local and transient ocean-generated electromagnetic fields, which will help with interpreting current data on ocean flows; study the global electromagnetic fields generated by ocean tides; use the model to describe the variability and distribution of magnetic fields generated by low-frequency ocean variability; and use the model to assess the potential for using satellite magnetic surveys to monitor ocean variability.
