Wind-Generated Waves, Topographic Reflection, and Tidal Dissipation

迈尔斯处理地球物理流体动力学的几个主题被认为是在海洋和大气中的重要现象的物理理解的基础将使用分析方法进行研究。主要感兴趣的是阵风和参数化的表面粗糙度的影响，对风波能量转移，有效粗糙度的波龄的非线性效应，波在水中的传播的可变深度，内部与边界层阻尼表面波，和正压（表面）潮汐能量的耗散通过转换为斜压（内部）潮汐。

Miles Several topics dealing with geophysical fluid dynamics considered to be basic to the physical understanding of important phenomena in both the ocean and the atmosphere will be studied using analytical methods. Of primary interest are the effect of gustiness and parameterization of surface roughness on win to wave energy transfer, non-linear effects of wave age on effective roughness, wave propagation in water of variable depth, internal vs. boundary layer damping for surface waves, and the dissipation of barotropic (surface) tidal energy through conversion to baroclinic (internal) tides.
