9912320This 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.

9912320这个合作项目包括对亚南极锋（SAF）动力学的各种分析，主要基于最近的太阳-南极通量动力学实验（SAFDE）收集的数据。分析的重点是：平均环流特征的结构；通过SAFDE区域的质量和热输运；纬向动量和涡度收支；SAFDE地区的中尺度变率；弯道的垂直结构；以及横额运输。来自SAFDE的现场数据将与该区域的遥感数据，特别是高度计数据相结合。将比较在SAFDE期间观测到的SAF的结构和变异性与最近GCM模拟中显示的SAF。
