Models of Marginal Seas Partially Enclosed by Islands
Abstract
This project represents the next step in my continuing effort to construct simple, theoretical models of western marginal sea-open ocean systems, which explain how large-scale forcing over the open ocean drives a circulation through the sea and how this circulation is distributed through possible straits connecting the marginal sea to the open ocean. A motivating factor for this research is the need to understand how to best represent these systems in 3-D numerical models of the ocean circulation being developed for prediction.
