Air-Ice-Ocean Interaction: Turbulent Ocean Boundary Layer Exchange Processes

该奖项是为了部分支持准备题为《空气-冰-海洋相互作用：湍流海洋边界层交换过程》的专著，该专著将于2007-2008年由施普林格出版。该专著将借鉴在两极地区进行的大量科学考察所获得的广泛观察和理论背景。将特别强调南大洋与北极的海冰和上层海洋动力学的对比，以及上层海洋动力学对理解极地地区对全球气候的影响的影响。专著的准备提供了一个机会，把许多概念和技术在三十多年的研究中发展起来，预计该卷将对对海冰，极地海洋和广泛尺度上的空气-冰-海洋相互作用的数值模拟感兴趣的研究人员感兴趣。

This award is for partial support for the preparation of a monograph entitled Air-Ice-Ocean Interaction: Turbulent Ocean Boundary Layer Exchange Processes, to be published by Springer in 2007-2008. The monograph will draw on extensive observational and theoretical background gained from numerous scientific expeditions in both polar regions. Particular emphasis will be placed on the contrast between sea ice and upper ocean dynamics in the Southern Ocean versus the Arctic, and the ramifications of upper ocean dynamics for understanding the impact ofpolar regions on global climate. The preparation of the monograph presents an opportunity to pull together a number of concepts and techniques developed over more than three decades of research, and it is anticipated that the volume will be of interest to investigators interested in sea ice, polar oceans, and numerical modeling of air-ice-ocean interaction over a broad spectrum of scales.
