'Low-Order Nonlinear Ocean Dynamics'.

Abstract

Work on this contract focused on two topics which relate to low order nonlinear ocean dynamics: (1) understanding the manner in which dynamical constraints - specifically, vorticity conservation or lack thereof - affect oceanic particle motion; and (2) assessing whether low order behavior can be detected in the temporal evolution of large scale geophysical flows.
