Examination of Sill Flow, Mixing and Water Mass Modification in a Generalized Hybrid-Coordinate Ocean Model

本项目的重点是开发和测试海洋环流数值模式，包括其在密集溢出和海洋深部环流中的应用。如果成功，主要的结果将是基础设施的增强，其形式是更好的海洋建模能力，以及更好地了解密集溢出的动态。该项目的核心海洋模型是使用广义垂直坐标的波塞冬模型。该模型的开发将集中于改进海洋混合的表示，利用现有的观测数据和密集溢出的理论结果，例如地中海流出，来确定测试问题并校准结果。该项目还将探索其他几种算法改进的有效性。

0099059/SchopfThis project focuses on the development and testing of a numerical ocean general circulation model, including its application to dense overflows and the deep circulation of the ocean. If successful, the primary outcomes will be an enhancement of infrastructure, in the form of better ocean modeling capability, and better insight into the dynamics of dense overflows. The ocean model at the heart of the project is the Poseidon model which uses a generalized vertical coordinate. The model development will center on improving the representation of ocean mixing, using existing observational data and theoretical results on dense overflows, such as the Mediterranean outflow, to define test problems and calibrate the results. The project will also explore the effectiveness of several other algorithmic refinements.
