An Orthopycnic General Circulation Model

该项目将完成基于正压密度面（经验压力校正密度）定义的层的海洋环流模式的初步开发，并将该模式应用于北太平洋和热带太平洋。工作重点是北太平洋中层水的形成和演化，平均分层对行星波传播的影响，正压密度、势密度和中性密度的比较。

9907008de SzoekeThis project will finish the initial development of an ocean general circulation model based on layers defined by orthobaric density surfaces (an empirically pressure-corrected density), and apply the model to the North and tropical Pacific. The work will focus on the formation and evolution of N. Pacific Intermediate Water, the influence of mean stratification on the propagation of planetary waves, and a comparison between orthobaric density, potential density and neutral density.
