0095906/McCrearyThis project will determine the role played by low-latitude boundary currents in seasonal to decadal variability of the tropical Pacific. First, historical observational and model data will be analyzed to obtain descriptions of the mean and varying structure of the upper and intermediate-depth circulation in the tropical western Pacific. From these, the oceanic processes involved in seasonal to decadal variability of the region will be diagnosed and hypotheses about dynamical role of low-latitude western boundary currents will be developed. Ideas about low-latitude western boundary current dynamics will be tested with numerical models of the tropical Pacific.

0095906/McCreary该项目将确定低纬度边界流在热带太平洋季节性至十年变化中所发挥的作用。 首先，将分析历史观测和模式资料，以获得热带西太平洋中上层环流的平均和变化结构的描述。 从这些，海洋过程中所涉及的季节性到十年的变化的区域将被诊断和假设的动力学作用的低纬度西部边界电流将开发。 将用热带太平洋的数值模式来检验关于低纬度西部边界流动力学的想法。
