Vortex Interactions with Abrupt Topography

ATM-9818628，William K.佛罗里达州立大学：涡旋与陡峭地形的相互作用这项研究将研究具有陡峭地形特征的涡旋和涡旋之间的相互作用。要处理的问题是(1)海山链和冰川的相互作用，(2)平均流和海山链的相互作用，以及(3)涡旋和环与大陆架和陆坡的相互作用。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地中海盐舌的形成和维持以及来自开阔海洋的能量向大陆架的渗透等领域。

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.
