9528239 Munchow In this project, the PIs will conduct an observational study of coastal upwelling circulation on a wide continental shelf -- the mid-Atlantic Bight off New Jersey. The objectives are: 1. To resolve the mass balance, as to whether it is two or three- dimensional; 2. To determine the primary subsurface across-shelf transport pathway and the dynamical importance of along-shelf pressure gradient; 3. To determine criteria for formation of an upwelling front, and find its role in the mass and heat fluxes; 4. To determine where the zone of maximum upwelling occurs; and, 5. To find the principal terms in the heat budget. A variety of moored and ship-board instruments, and satellite-tracked drifters, as well as satellite imagery of temperature and color will be used.

9528239 Munchow 在该项目中，PI 将对广阔的大陆架（新泽西州附近的大西洋中部湾）的沿海上升流环流进行观测研究。 目标是： 1. 解决质量平衡问题，无论是二维还是三维； 2. 确定主要的地下跨陆架输送路径和沿陆架压力梯度的动力学重要性； 3. 确定上升流锋面的形成标准，并找出其在质量和热通量中的作用； 4. 确定最大上升流发生区域； 5. 找出热预算中的主要项。 将使用各种停泊和船上仪器、卫星跟踪漂流器以及温度和颜色的卫星图像。
