This project aims to determine the role of buoyancy differences from solar radiation and vertical confinement. Flows created by lateral variation in heat or buoyancy are poorly understood when the horizontal length greatly exceeds the height, precisely the conditions relevant to industry and understanding the role of horizontal convection in Earth's oceans and in turn the delicate current system that maintains Earth's temperate climate. This project proposes computational and experimental efforts to probe the ultimate regime of heat transport in very shallow horizontal convection, benefiting humankind through improvements to future ocean and climate modelling efforts.

该项目旨在确定太阳辐射和垂直限制的浮力差异的作用。当水平长度大大超过高度时，人们对由热量或浮力横​​向变化产生的流动知之甚少，这正是与工业相关的条件，并了解水平对流在地球海洋中的作用，进而了解维持地球温带气候的微妙洋流系统。该项目提出了计算和实验工作，以探索极浅水平对流中热传输的最终状态，通过改进未来的海洋和气候建模工作来造福人类。
