Boundary Layer Flow and Sediment Transport Dynamics on the Amazon Continental Shelf

这项建议是要求为1993年提供资金，以继续目前正在进行的关于亚马逊大陆架沉积物运输问题的分析。这一泥沙输送方案是AmasSeds项目（多学科亚马孙陆架泥沙研究）的一部分，该项目始于1989年，计划于1992年12月结束。我们请求额外一年的支持，因为：1)现场项目的成功超出了预期，不仅产生了大量数据集，而且还揭示了其他重要的沉积过程（在原始提案中没有考虑到），这些过程也应该得到解决；2)额外的一年将提供时间来综合研究结果，并将结果与参与该项目的其他四个研究小组的结果相结合。

This proposal is a request for funds for 1993 to continue analyses presently underway addressing issue of sediment transport on the Amazon continental shelf. This sediment transport program is part of the AmasSeds project (A Multi-disciplinary Amazon Shelf Sediment Study) which began in 1989 and is scheduled to end in December 1992. We are requesting an additional year of support because: 1) the success of the field program has exceeded expectations and has resulted in not only a large data set but one that has revealed other important sedimentary processes (not considered in the original proposal) which also should be addressed; and 2) an additional year will provide time to synthesized the findings and integrate results with those of the other four research groups involved in the project.
