Collaborative Research: Coastal Upwelling on a Wide Shelf: An Observational Study

PIs提议对沿海上升流存在时的陆架环流的各个方面进行研究。他们的方法是使用收集和分析的数据进行进一步分析，这是先前授予的一部分。这些数据来自中大西洋湾大陆架上的一项实验，包括来自系泊仪器、重复船只调查、漂浮物和海岸雷达的测量结果。目的是：研究上升水的跨陆架路径；确定大规模预算的结构，特别是确定它是2D还是3D；确定位涡收支；并确定潮汐整流流量。

0002375 / GarvineThe PIs propose a study of various aspects of shelf circulation in the presence of coastal upwelling. Their approach is to conduct further analysis using data collected and analyzed as part of a prior award. The data are from an experiment on the continental shelf in the Middle Atlantic Bight and included measurements from moored instruments, repeated ship surveys, drifters and coastal radar. The goals are: to examine the cross-shelf pathway of upwelled water; to determine the structure of the mass budget and, in particular, to determine whether it is 2D or 3D; to determine the potential vorticity budget; and to determine the tidally rectified flow.
