Research in Linear and Nonlinear Waves and Ocean Circulation Theory

9901654佩德罗斯基在这个项目中，PI将在两个方面继续理论研究。首先，他将研究海洋的一般环流，重点是受地形影响的深海环流。定常环流和随时间变化的环流都将被解析和数值研究。实验室实验将补充定常和非定常问题的理论研究。在第二期中，PI将讨论海洋流动的线性和非线性斜压波动力学，重点是实验室中浮力驱动的流动的稳定环流。观察到的不稳定性，如果它们出现，将进行分析和数值研究。

9901654PedloskyIn this project, the PI will continue theoretical studies in two areas. In the first, he will study the General Circulation of the Oceans with a focus on the abyssal circulation as affected by topography. Both steady and time-dependent circulation will be studied analytically and numerically. Laboratory experiments will supplement the theoretical studies for both steady and unsteady problems. In the second, the PI will address the Linear and Nonlinear Baroclinic Wave Dynamics of Oceanic Flows, with a focus on steady circulation of buoyancy-driven flows in the laboratory. The observation of instabilities, should they arise, will be studied analytically and numerically.
