Water Column Variability in Coastal Regions.

摘要

The long term goal of this project is to obtain a quantitative understanding of the physical, chemical, and biological processes that produce variability in coastal waters. The processes being investigated include the atmospheric forcing of water column properties, the effects of physical mixing and circulation, the biological uptake and release of nutrients and gases, and chemical reactions at phase boundaries. The information derived from this research will provide the basis to construct quantitative models of a range of properties in coastal waters and their variability.
