The Dynamics and Physics of Multiple Strait Systems
Abstract
LONG TERM GOALS: To determine how island groups interact, so enabling us to evaluate how best to 'parameterize' these groups in 3-D numerical ocean models used in forecasting, which cannot necessarily resolve all of the islands and interconnecting straits. The theories and models are being developed in a general framework, so that they have application to arbitrary multiple-strait systems. OBJECTIVES: 1. To construct models of sub-inertial, wave scattering along gappy shelves with a mean flow through the gaps to explain features of the three years of shallow-pressure gauge data collected around the Indonesian throughflow exit region by Bray, Sprintall et al. 2. To make the best possible estimate of transport through Makassar Strait based on the 20 months of ARLINDO current meter data collected at adjacent moorings in Makassar Strait given the limitations of the data.
