The circulation of the oceans is a crucial factor in governing the variability and long-term change in the earth's climate. A major weakness in current ocean and climate models is a lack of knowledge of energy flow within the ocean. This project will examine the nature and role of eddy interactions with the ocean boundaries, which is a critical question for future development of more accurate high-resolution ocean models and improved climate predictions.

海洋环流是控制地球气候多变性和长期变化的一个关键因素。目前海洋和气候模型的一个主要弱点是缺乏对海洋内能量流动的了解。该项目将研究涡旋与海洋边界相互作用的性质和作用，这是未来开发更准确的高分辨率海洋模型和改进气候预测的关键问题。
