Benthic Frontogenesis in the Florida Straits

小行星9711452 本项目将对上升流状态下的海底前缘进行模拟研究。 该研究将利用数值模拟和对佛罗里达海峡现有观测结果的分析，研究混合参数化、可变强迫和分层、动量平流和三维地形如何影响海底锋的发展和演变及其与海洋内部的相互作用。 这项研究扩展了现有的一维理论逮捕边界层的变化的斜率和封闭的横截面的区域。

9711452 Seim This project will carry out a modeling study of the benthic front in an upwelling regime. Using numerical modeling and the analysis of existing observations from Florida Strait, the study will examine how mixing parametrization, variable forcing and stratification, advection of momentum and three- dimensional topography influence the development and evolution of a benthic front, and its interaction with the ocean interior. This study expands existing one-dimensional theories of arrested boundary layers to areas of changing slope and closed cross-sections.
