CAREER: Linking Southern Ocean Dynamics to Global Climate

摘要：GILL/9984203这个职业奖为研究南大洋在全球海洋热平衡中的作用提供了资金。PI将使用数值过程研究来研究南极大陆周围的时间变异性和风强迫，并对南极绕极流(ACC)向南的热量涡旋输送和其他性质进行浮动测量，以检查纬向和经向流动。在这项提案的教育部分，国际和平研究所要求提供资金，以开发一门关于数据分析的计算机实验室课程，并为本科生和研究生提供研究机会。

ABSTRACT:Gille/9984203This CAREER award provides funding to examine how the Southern Ocean functions in a global oceanic heat balance. The PI will examine both zonal and meridional flow employing both a numerical process study to investigate time-variability and wind-forcing around the Antarctic continent, and float measurements of southward eddy transport of heat and other properties across the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). In the education portion of this proposal, the PI requests funding to develop a computer lab course on data analysis and provide research opportunities for undergraduates and graduate students.
