Models of Eddy and Wave Forcing of Deep Western Boundary Currents and Abyssal Recirculations

由风生环流不稳定所产生的涡旋和Rossby波在强迫西部深层边界流和深海环流中的作用将用日益复杂的解析和数值模式相结合来研究。特别令人感兴趣的是大陆上升对墨西哥湾流下的涡流驱动环流的影响，以及底部困流和地形Rossby波之间的弱非线性波-平均流相互作用。

The role that eddies and Rossby waves generated by instabilities of the wind-driven circulation have in forcing the deep western boundary currents and the abyssal circulation will be studied using a combination of analytical and numerical models with increasing complexity. Of particular interest are the effects of the continental rise on eddy-driven circulation beneath the Gulf Stream and the weakly non-linear wave-mean flow interactions between a bottom trapped current and topographic Rossby waves.
