9416894 Carton In this project, the PI will continue studies of interannual changes in the upper thermocline waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Previous work has focused on determining the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) in the tropical Atlantic, including effects of rainfall and runoff. In this follow-on, the PI will focus on the role of wind stress and other surface forcing parameters, on SST, with particular emphasis on the tropics for the three decades of the 1960's through the 1980's, using a primitive equation model. An important question is to include effects of upper ocean salinity. Results will further clarify issues of both modeling and air temperature and precipitation over both Africa and Brazil. The assimilation package to be developed will be a useful contribution to the field of ocean modeling. ***

9416894 Carton 在这个项目中，项目负责人将继续研究大西洋上层温跃层水域的年际变化。 之前的工作重点是确定热带大西洋的海面温度（SST），包括降雨和径流的影响。 在接下来的内容中，PI 将使用原始方程模型重点关注风应力和其他表面强迫参数对海表温度的作用，特别强调 1960 年代到 1980 年代这三十年间的热带地区。 一个重要的问题是包括上层海洋盐度的影响。 结果将进一步澄清非洲和巴西的建模以及气温和降水问题。 即将开发的同化包将为海洋建模领域做出有益的贡献。 ***
