PI: WhiteProposal Number: 9910730Funds are provided for the statistical analysis of historical data sets of sea surface temperature, sea level height, sea ice extent, sea ice concentration, surface air temperature, sea level pressure, surface wind, temperature profiles, salinity profiles, and drifter velocities to better understand the structure of the Antarctic Circumpolar Wave (ACW), a recently described feature of the climate system. In particular, the investigators will determine the depth to which the ACW signal occurs below the sea surface and its effect on the main pycnocline. They will also determine the coherence between the ACW and sea ice concentration in the Weddell and Ross Seas. This will assist in interpreting the potential role of the ACW in the formation of Antarctic Bottom Water.

主要研究者：白色提案编号：9910730提供资金用于统计分析海洋表面温度、海平面高度、海冰范围、海冰密集度、表面空气温度、海平面压力、表面风、温度廓线、盐度廓线和漂流物速度的历史数据集，以更好地了解南极绕极波（ACW）的结构，这是最近描述的气候系统特征。 特别是，调查人员将确定ACW信号发生在海面以下的深度及其对主密度跃层的影响。 它们还将确定威德尔海和罗斯海的ACW和海冰浓度之间的一致性。 这将有助于解释ACW在南极底层水形成中的潜在作用。
