9802686 Matano This U.S.-Brazil award will support a planning visit between Dr. Ricardo P. Matano, Oregon State University, Dr. E. Chassignet, University of Miami, and Dr. Edmo J. Campos of the University of Sao Paulo, who wish to do a numerical study of the North Brazil Current. The North Brazil Current (NBC) plays a role in the inter hemispheric exchanges of mass and heat by providing the cross-equatorial transport of upper ocean waters to the Atlantic overturning cell. The causes of the current variability and its effects on the inter-hemispheric exchange are poorly known. Dr. Campos is involved in a project entitled, "Rings of the North Brazil Current" which is funded by NSF, to observe this. This planning visit will allow Drs. Matano and Chassignet to consult with Dr. Campos on his portion of the larger project, his responsibiity being the modeling component. These American researchers are experts in to general circulation models, the Miami Isopycnic Coordinate Ocean Model and the Princeton Ocean Model. The three researchers wish to develop a research collaboration which will continue the search for understanding of this phenomenon. ***

9802686 MATANO这项美国 - 巴西奖将支持Ricardo P. Matano博士，俄勒冈州立大学，E。Chassignet博士，迈阿密大学和Sao Paulo大学的Edmo J. Campos博士之间的计划访问，他们希望对北巴西当前进行数值研究。 北巴西电流（NBC）通过提供上海水向大西洋倾覆细胞的跨赤道运输，在质量和热量的半球间交换中发挥作用。 当前变异性的原因及其对半球间交换的影响鲜为人知。 Campos博士参与了一个题为“北巴西电流环”的项目，该项目由NSF资助，以观察到这一点。 这次计划访问将允许Drs。 Matano和Chassignet咨询了Campos博士的大型项目，他的责任是建模组成部分。 这些美国研究人员是一般循环模型，迈阿密等型坐标海洋模型和普林斯顿海洋模型的专家。 这三位研究人员希望建立一项研究合作，将继续寻找对这一现象的理解。 ***
