Laboratory and Numerical Modeling of Topographic Effects on Time-Dependent Ocean Currents.

Abstract

The principal goal of this effort was to develop an improved understanding of the physical and biological environment in the vicinity of isolated seamounts. Field experiments and attendant analyses along with numerical modeling and physical simulations of the region in the vicinity of Fieberling Guyot were conducted. The report findings are divided into three sections: ocean current interactions with isolated topography, jets in rotating and stratified fluids, and other physical modeling experiments. (AN)
