9711481 Allen Research will be conducted under the auspices of the Coastal Ocean Processes Program (CoOP). A modeling study will be undertaken of the physical circulation and ecosystem dynamics on the Oregon continental shelf and slope. The objective of this research project is to understand and be able to model physical oceanographic circulation processes and accompanying ecosystem dynamics in the wind-forced continental shelf flow fields off the U.S. northwest Pacific coast. Objectives include the application of high resolution numerical circulation and ecosystem models to both process studies and to direct simulations of continental shelf and slope flow fields for investigation of the physical and biological mechanisms involved in wind-forced across-shelf transport processes. It is intended that this study will prepare for future Coastal Ocean Processes (CoOP) program field experiments with application of a high-resolution, limited-area, regional shelf circulation and ecosystem model. That model would be used to help understand the physical and biological processes in the observed flow fields by providing interpolation or extrapolation of necessarily incomplete measurements and by enabling directly relevant process studies.

9711481 艾伦研究将在沿海海洋过程计划 (CoOP) 的支持下进行。 将对俄勒冈州大陆架和斜坡上的物理循环和生态系统动态进行建模研究。该研究项目的目标是了解并能够模拟美国西北太平洋沿岸风力大陆架流场中的物理海洋环流过程和伴随的生态系统动态。目标包括将高分辨率数值环流和生态系统模型应用于过程研究以及直接模拟大陆架和斜坡流场，以研究风力跨大陆架运输过程中涉及的物理和生物机制。这项研究旨在为未来的沿海海洋过程（CoOP）计划现场实验做好准备，应用高分辨率、有限区域、区域陆架环流和生态系统模型。该模型将通过提供必然不完整的测量的内插或外推以及通过直接相关的过程研究来帮助理解观察到的流场中的物理和生物过程。
