The Subinertial Mixed Layer Approximation

这个项目需要发展一个统一的混合层模式，它包括混合层中的所有亚惯性过程。这是一种亚惯性混合层模式，旨在改进现有的三维混合层模式。该项目有两个主要部分：(1)进一步发展SML近似的理论，以包括非绝热强迫、机械强迫以及通过卷吸和压力强迫与更深的内层的相互作用；以及(2)将SML近似应用于具体问题。

This project entails the developement of a unified mixed layer model which includes all of the subinertial processes in the mixed layer. This is a subinertial mixed layer (SML) model aiming towards the improvement of current three-dimensional mixed layer models. The project has two major components: (1) to further the theoretical development of the SML approximation to include diabatic forcing, mechanical forcing and interaction with deeper interior layer through both entrainment and pressure forcing; and (2) to apply the SML approximation to specific problems.
