Merrifield 9819519Funding is provided to conduct a large coordinated experiment near the Hawaiian Ridge to determine whether sites with rough topography are responsible for the mixing of the global ocean. The goals are to identify the major energy pathways for ocean mixing and achieve an approximate energy budget for the region. This modeling effort will focus primarily on the issue of tidal scattering as an energy source for ocean mixing using two numerical models of the baroclinic (depth-dependent) tide.

Merrifield 9819519提供资金在夏威夷海脊附近进行大型协调实验，以确定地形崎岖的地点是否对全球海洋的混合负责。目标是确定海洋混合的主要能源途径，并实现该地区的大致能源预算。这项建模工作将主要关注潮汐散射问题，作为海洋混合的能源，使用斜压（取决于深度）潮汐的两个数值模型。
