PI: WernerProposal Number: 0081176Funds are provided for the analysis and interpretation of archived data from the wind-driven boundary layer over Georges Bank. These analyses will test the generality of recent findings concerning the dynamics of the boundary layer and extend them. The study will address what causes the flatness of the Ekman spiral during summer conditions, how the boundary layer dynamics are modified in winter when the surface and bottom boundary layers overlap, and under what conditions a one-dimensional model of the coastal surface Ekman layer is an adequate representation of the dynamics.

主要研究者：Werner提案编号：0081176提供资金用于分析和解释来自乔治海岸风力驱动边界层的存档数据。 这些分析将测试有关边界层动力学的最新发现的一般性并扩展它们。 这项研究将解决是什么原因导致平坦的埃克曼螺旋在夏季条件下，如何在冬季修改边界层动态时，表面和底部边界层重叠，在什么条件下，一维模型的沿海表面埃克曼层是一个足够的代表性的动态。
