The SubAntarctic Flux and Dynamics Experiment: Renewal Proposal for Data Analysis and Model Comparisons

9912016这一合作项目主要根据最近的太阳-南极通量动力学实验(SAFDE)期间收集的数据，对次南极锋(SAF)的动力学进行各种分析。这些分析将涉及：平均环流特征的结构；通过SAFDE区域的质量和热量输送；纬向动量和涡度预算；SAFDE区域的中尺度变率；SAF弯道的垂直结构；以及跨锋面输送。SAFDE的现场数据将与该区域的遥感数据，特别是高度计数据结合在一起。将在SAFDE期间观察到的SAF的结构和可变性与最近GCM模拟中显示的SAF进行比较。

9912016This collaborative project consists of a variety of analyses of the dynamics of the Sub-Antarctic Front (SAF) based primarily on data collected during the recent Sun-Antarctic Flux Dynamics Experiment (SAFDE). The analyses will address: the structure of mean circulation features; mass and heat transports through the SAFDE region; zonal momentum and vorticity budgets; mesoscale variability in the SAFDE region; the vertical structure of meanders of the SAF; and cross-frontal transport. In situ data from SAFDE will be combined with remotely sensed data for the region, particularly altimeter data. A comparison will be made between the structure and variability of the SAF observed during SAFDE and the SAF exhibited in recent GCM simulations.
