Circulation of Marginal and Semi-enclosed Seas (Sea of Japan and Related Process Studies)

Abstract

My basic goal is to understand the general principles governing the mean and transient circulation in realistic marginal and semi-enclosed seas, especially the roles of mesoscale variability. My applied goal is to improve the scientific basis for the design of nowcast/forecast systems to be implemented in marginal and semi-enclosed seas. I am particularly interested in treating realistic continental margins and realistic atmospheric and throughflow forcing for such seas, using numerical simulation and data assimilation models for the circulation.
