A Time-Series Study of Ocean Climate in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre

0117919卢卡该项目的重点是观察和了解北太平洋副热带环流中与海洋气候有关的过程，方法是在夏威夷海洋时间序列(HOT)上再进行两年的水文采样，将记录延长到15年。这项工作还支持HOT的生物地球化学研究部分。对时间序列的分析将寻求改进我们对海洋气候变异性的描述，方法是将热观测与数值模式相结合，以了解这种变异性的原因。特别是，将研究副热带锋面的俯冲过程与在炎热地点观测到的水团变化有关，包括由于海-气相互作用引起的表层变化。该项目还将为气候可变性和可预测性(CLIVAR)计划做出贡献。

0117919 LukasThis project focuses on observing and understanding ocean-climate related processes in the North pacific subtropical gyre by conducting two additional year of hydrographic sampling at the Hawaiian Ocean Time-Series (HOT) to extend the record to 15 years. This work also support the biogeochemistry research component of HOT. The analysis of the time series will seek to improve our description of ocean climate variability by combining observation from HOT with numerical models to understand the causes of this variability. In particular, the subduction process at the subtropical front will be studied in relation to water mass variability observed at the HOT site, including surface layer variations due to air-sea interactions. This project will also contribute to the Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) Program.
