Deep Recirculations in the Atlantic Basins

9629489 洛泽 这个项目是一个职业计划，PI将在她的整体职业发展中整合研究和教学。 在教育部分，PI将开发一个新的物理海洋学本科课程，专为科学专业。 该课程旨在教授物理海洋学的研究如何与我们的自然环境相关联，将填补目前本科教育的严重空白。 此外，PI将为高级高中生制定一个广泛的推广计划。 在研究部分下，PI将研究北大西洋主温跃层以下再循环的结构、范围和作用，其动机是主要由她开发的新的高分辨率气候学，最初侧重于北大西洋，一旦获得数据，将扩展到南大西洋。 在研究的后期阶段将使用一个正演模型，以便开始将数据纳入一个理论框架。

9629489 Lozier This project is a CAREER program in which the PI will integrate research and teaching in her overall career development. Under the educational component, the PI will develop a new undergraduate course in physical oceanography designed for science majors. With the aim of teaching how the study of physical oceanography relates to our natural environment, the course would fill a serious void in current undergraduate education. In addition, the PI will develop an extensive outreach program for advanced high school students. Under the research component, the PI will study the structure, extent and role of recirculations below the main thermocline in the North Atlantic, motivated by a new, high-resolution climatology developed in large part by her. With initial focus on the North Atlantic, extensions will be made into the South Atlantic as the data become available. A forward model will be used in the later stages of the study to begin to assimilate the data into a theoretical framework.
