Collaborative Research: Ocean Circulation in the Tropical Pacific: A Geochemical and Modeling Study

9633375 施拉格 该奖项将支持对热带太平洋上层沃茨放射性碳变化与环流之间关系的研究。 具体主题包括： 1.决定热带海面碳-14分布和变化的物理过程; 2.确定观测到的炸弹碳-14的温跃层存量的物理学;以及， 3. 温跃层沃茨在 的 亚热带和热带环流。 这 是 这是一项合作研究，普林斯顿大学的科学家将专注于分析珊瑚礁中发现的C14的历史记录，而哥伦比亚大学的科学家将应用数值模拟技术解决这个问题。

9633375 Schrag This award will support a study of the relationship between radiocarbon variability and circulation in the upper waters of the tropical Pacific Ocean. Specific topics include: 1. the physical processes which determine the distribution and variability of tropical sea surface Carbon-14; 2. the physics determining the observed thermocline inventory of bomb Carbon-14; and, 3. the pathways and timescales for the exchange of thermocline waters between the subtropical and tropical gyres. This is a collaborative study, in which scientists at Princeton will focus on analysis of historical records of C14 found in coral reefs, while scientists at Columbia University will apply numerical modeling techniques to the problem.
