Collaborative Proposal: Continuation of Models of the Pacific Basin Circulation Based on WOCE-Era

图尔/罗宾斯该项目旨在利用世界海洋环流实验(WOCE)的深层水文观测和营养物质以及来自地下漂浮物的数据来合成太平洋三维环流的广泛图景。将要采取的方法将把太平洋分成大约70个盒子，并使用线性约束逆估计技术来推导出最符合观测结果的环流，同时保持质量和示踪通量。

Toole/RobbinsThis project is intended as a continuation of an attempt to synthesize a broad picture of the three-dimensional circulation of the Pacific using observations of deep hydrography and nutrients from the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) together with data from subsurface floats. The approach to be taken will divide the Pacific into approximately 70 boxes and use a linearly constrained inverse estimation technique to deduce a circulation that best fits the observations while conserving mass and tracer fluxes.
