Collaborative Research: Coastal Upwelling Circulation on a Wide Shelf: An Observational Study

0002885 / Yankovsky PI 提议对沿海上升流存在时陆架循环的各个方面进行研究。 他们的方法是使用作为先前奖项的一部分收集和分析的数据进行进一步分析。 这些数据来自在大西洋中部湾大陆架上进行的一项实验，包括系泊仪器、重复船舶调查、漂流器和沿海雷达的测量结果。 目标是： 检查上升水的跨大陆架路径；确定质量预算的结构，特别是确定它是 2D 还是 3D；确定位涡预算；并确定潮汐修正流量。

0002885 / YankovskyThe PIs propose a study of various aspects of shelf circulation in the presence of coastal upwelling. Their approach is to conduct further analysis using data collected and analyzed as part of a prior award. The data are from an experiment on the continental shelf in the Middle Atlantic Bight and included measurements from moored instruments, repeated ship surveys, drifters and coastal radar. The goals are: to examine the cross-shelf pathway of upwelled water; to determine the structure of the mass budget and, in particular, to determine whether it is 2D or 3D; to determine the potential vorticity budget; and to determine the tidally rectified flow.
