Interactions of Meddies with SeamountsGeorgi Sutyrin URIWilliam Dewar FSUThis study will address the dynamics and transport properties of self-propagating, baroclinic-eddies in the presence of topography. Eddies of Mediterranean origin (Meddies) are examples of these features. The dynamical impact of vortex property transport and propagation of seamount-Meddy collisions have been observed buy are poorly understood. Numerical models will be used to examine the following related topics: topographic effects on Meddy transport, topographic influences on Meddy propagation, mean flow generation on topography by Meddies and consequent feedbacks. These studies are pertinent to the question of how to parameterize tracer transport in large-scale models.

本研究将讨论地形存在下自传播斜压涡旋的动力学和输运特性。起源于地中海的漩涡（Meddies）就是这些特征的例子。 涡旋性质的动力学影响的运输和传播的seekt-Meddy碰撞已被观察到，但知之甚少。 数值模型将用于研究以下相关主题：地形对Meddy运输的影响，地形对Meddy传播的影响，地形上Meddy产生的平均流和随之而来的反馈。这些研究是有关的问题，如何参数化示踪剂输送在大尺度模式。
