Research in Linear and Nonlinear Waves and Ocean Circulation Theory

9901654Pedlosky在这个项目中，PI将继续在两个领域的理论研究。 在第一个项目中，他将研究海洋环流，重点是受地形影响的深海环流。稳定和随时间变化的环流将进行分析和数值研究。实验室实验将补充稳态和非稳态问题的理论研究。 在第二，PI将解决海洋流的线性和非线性斜压波动力学，重点是在实验室中的浮力驱动流的稳定环流。 观察到的不稳定性，如果他们出现，将研究分析和数字。

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.
