Projekt
Energy transfers in gravity currents ((09) T03)
Subject Area
Oceanography
Term
from 2016 to 2024
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 274762653
We will turn our attention to the overturning's southern limb and investigate energy transfers associated with the Weddell Sea Bottom Water gravity current, which supplies the densest waters to the global ocean. We will analyse the influence of individual processes such as eddy-plume interaction, non-hydrostatic dynamics, and tides on plume energetics in a model with idealized geometry.
