Dynamic Simulations of Realistic Upper-Ocean Flow Processes to Support Measurement and Data Analysis
Abstract
We propose to use numerical simulation to study the coupling dynamics in the upper ocean boundary layer (OBL) with a focus on Langmu"ir cells, waves, and currents. A main goal of our study is to support the measurement in the DRI and to help the data analysis. Syne"rgistic collaboration between our simulation and the eld observation in the DRI has been planned. We will perform comparison and cr"oss-validation between simulation and measurement. Based on our simulations, we will provide guidance for the design of eld observa""tion systems and the deployment of instruments, help the analysis of measurement data by testing hypotheses and investigating the un""derlying mechanism, use simulation to ll in the gaps in eld data, and use data assimilation to help the synthesis of measurement d"ata obtained from different sources.
