Near Inertial Response to a Tropical Cyclone

1998年，在飓风吉尔伯特通过墨西哥湾之前、期间和之后收集了一套丰富而独特的观测资料，其分析几乎完成了。该研究的目的是为了更好地了解在近惯性波动力学背景下上层海洋对飓风的三维响应。垂直能量从混合层传播到温跃层的速率由近惯性旋转电流矢量估计。结果还与数值模型和解析模型进行了比较。

A rich and unique set of observations collected before, during and after the passage of Hurricane Gilbert in the gulf of Mexico was collected in 1998and its analysis is almost completed. The purpose of the study is to better understand the three-dimensional response of the upper ocean to hurricanes in the context of near-inertial wave dynamics. The rate of propagation of vertical energy from the mixed layer into the thermocline is estimated from near-inertial rotating current vectors. The results are also compared with numerical and analytical models.
