| Abstract: |
Subject and Objective of Analysis: We would like to perform an analysis of the warming that is anticipated to occur in the subsurface ocean of the southern hemisphere. In particular, we will concentrate on the changes that may occur in the intermediate and mode water range. These water bodies link the Southern Ocean with the equatorial ocean and carry much of the anticipated global warming signal into the interior of the ocean. Aim is to assess the future impact of future global warming on subsurface ocean dynamics.
Required ocean data: u, v, w, T, S, rho, and surface fluxes. |
