Modeling Mesoscale and Submesoscale Eddy Processes in the Subtropical Western Pacific Island Arc

Abstract

Approved for Public ReleaseWe propose to do oceanic simulation modeling of the Philippine Seabetween Taiwan and the Marianas to depict and interpret the dynamicsof mesoscale eddies, submesoscale fronts, topographic wakes, andinertia-gravity waves. We will use a newly reformulated version ofthe Regional Oceanic Modeling System (ROMS) code. The research willbe coordinated with the ARCTERX experiment supported by the Office ofNaval Research.
