The Agulhas-Brazil Current Domino

将研究急流和中尺度涡旋之间的非线性相互作用，以增进对巴西-马尔维纳斯交汇带的概念性理解。特别是，将审查阿古拉斯旋涡在造成汇流区漂移以及在脱离入侵旋涡方面的作用。将在面向过程的研究中使用分析和数值技术。这项研究将得到指导，并与观测、区域数值模型和实验室实验进行比较。这项研究将对我们理解盆地间的能量、热量和动量交换以及海洋在经向热量输送中的作用具有重要意义。因此，它将有助于我们对气候系统的理解。

ABSTRACTOCE-0241036The nonlinear interactions between jets and mesoscale eddies will be studied in order to improve the conceptual understanding of the Brazil-Malvinas Confluence Zone. In particular, the role of Agulhas eddies in causing the drift of the Confluence Zone and also in the detachment of intrusion eddies will be examined. Analytical and numerical techniques will be used in process-oriented studies. The research will be guided and compared to observations, regional numerical models and with laboratory experiments. This study will have important implications for our understanding of interbasin exchanges of energy, heat and momentum and the ocean's role in the meridional transport of heat. It therefore will aid our understanding of the climate system.
