Eddy mixing and water mass formation in the Southern Ocean in a global 1/4 degree model

下一代海洋气候模型将依靠大尺度海洋学、中尺度海洋物理学和计算技术专家之间的联系。该项目汇集了这些专门知识。它将通过改进涡流对空气/海洋相互作用的影响的表现，发展更好的海洋模型，用于气候预测。 澳大利亚的气候极端，严重的干旱，严重的森林火灾季节，土壤流失和盐碱化都构成了未来50年潜在的巨大社会经济挑战。因此，改进气候模型对澳大利亚来说非常重要，因为减轻气候变化的影响取决于可靠的气候预测系统。

The next generation of ocean climate models will rely on linkages between experts in large-scale oceanography, mesoscale ocean physics and computational techniques. This project brings together such expertise. It will result in the development of better ocean models for use in climate prediction by improving the representation of eddy contributions to air/sea interactions. Australia's climate is extreme, with harsh droughts, severe bushfire seasons, soil loss, and salinity all posing potentially enormous socio-economic challenges over the next fifty years. Improving climate models is thus highly significant for Australia, as mitigating the effects of climate change depend on reliable climate prediction systems.
