Lagrangian Statistics in a High Resolution (1/12 degree) Ocean Numerical Model

Griffa支持在非常高分辨率的配置（1/12度网格，平均网格大小6公里）中使用迈阿密等地坐标模型（MICOM）来解决与拉格朗日漂浮物和浮子观测的最佳使用和解释相关的问题。研究将集中在北大西洋盆地，那里有大型观测基地。该项目是世界海洋环流实验（WOCE）的一部分。将合成的上层漂浮物和等流漂浮物引入模型，并将它们的轨迹与WOCE观测期间和以前在真实海洋中收集的可比漂浮物的数据进行比较。

Griffa Support is provided to employ the Miami Isopycnic Coordinate Model (MICOM) in a very high resolution configuration (1/12 degree grid, 6km average grid size) to address questions related to the best use and interpretation of Lagrangian drifter and float observations. The study will focus on the North Atlantic Basin where there is large observational base. This project is part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE). Synthetic upper layer drifters and isopycnic floats would be introduced into the model and their trajectories compared with data from comparable floats in the real ocean collected during the WOCE observational period and before.
