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

该奖项是为编写题为《气-冰-海相互作用：湍流海洋边界层交换过程》的专著提供部分支持的，该专著将由斯普林格出版社于2007-2008年出版。这本专著将借鉴从两个极地地区的众多科学考察中获得的广泛的观测和理论背景。将特别强调南大洋和北冰洋海冰和上层海洋动力学之间的对比，以及上层海洋动力学的影响，以了解极地区域对全球气候的影响。专著的编写提供了一次机会，将三十多年的研究中形成的一些概念和技术汇集在一起，预计该书将引起对海冰、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的兴趣。

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.
