Near Inertial Response to a Tropical Cyclone

一套丰富而独特的观察收集之前，期间和 飓风吉尔伯特经过墨西哥湾后， 收集于1998年，分析工作已基本完成。目的 这项研究的目的是更好地了解 在近惯性的背景下， 波动力学垂直能量的传播速度 混合层进入温跃层是从近惯性估计 旋转电流矢量。结果也与 数值和分析模型。

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.
