An Orthopycnic General Circulation Model

9907008de Szoeke本项目将完成海洋环流模式的初步开发，该模式基于正压密度面(经经验压力校正的密度)定义的层，并将该模式应用于北太平洋和热带太平洋。这项工作将集中在北太平洋中层水的形成和演化，平均层结对行星波传播的影响，以及正压密度、势密度和中性密度之间的比较。

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.
