Vortex Interactions with Abrupt Topography

dewar, William k .佛罗里达州立大学题目：涡旋与突变地形的相互作用。提议的研究将解决涡旋和涡旋与突变地形特征的相互作用。要处理的问题是：(1)海底山链和介质的相互作用，(2)平均流和海底山链的相互作用，以及(3)漩涡和环与大陆架和斜坡的相互作用。主要工具将是分析和数值过程模型。这项工作很重要，因为研究结果将影响诸如地中海盐舌的形成和维持以及从开阔海洋到大陆架的能量渗透等领域。

AbstractATM-9818628Dewar, William K.Florida State UniversityTitle: Vortex Interactions with Abrupt TopographyThe proposed research will address the interaction of eddies and vortices with abrupt topographic features. The issues to be dealt are (1) the interaction of a seamount chain and meddies, (2) the interaction of a mean flow and a seamount chain, and (3) vortex and ring interaction with continental shelves and slopes. The principal tools will be analytical and numerical process models. The work is important because the result of the studies will impact areas such as the formation and maintenance of the Mediterranean salt tongue and the penetration of energy from the open ocean onto the shelf.
