0099275/SanfordThis project will support processing and analysis of data from the Denmark Strait Overflow, collected during an expedition to the Denmark Strait. These data will be used to produce a description of the energetics, eddy characteristics and basic dynamical parameters of the Denmark Strait Overflow. The results will be used to test the predictions of existing theories of hydraulic control in dense overflows. The observed data will also be used to examine the structure of eddies in the Denmark Strait. The properties of the flow in and near the eddies will be compared with three existing theories of eddy formation in an effort to determine which one is most applicable to the Denmark Strait.

0099275/Sanford该项目将支持对丹麦海峡溢出数据的处理和分析，这些数据是在对丹麦海峡进行考察期间收集的。 这些数据将被用来产生的能量，涡流特性和基本动力学参数的丹麦海峡溢出的描述。 结果将被用来测试现有的水力控制理论在密集溢流的预测。 观测数据还将用于研究丹麦海峡的涡旋结构。 涡流中和附近的流动特性将与现有的三种涡流形成理论进行比较，以确定哪一种最适用于丹麦海峡。
