- Abstract:
- This CASE studentship proposal is to understand and improve the Gulf Stream extension in moderate resolution ocean models. The project offers the opportunity for creative, feasible scientific work, including the development of new theories, in state of the art climate models. The student will work with Dr. Mike Bell at the Met Office and Professor Beth Wingate at the Univeristy of Exeter. The Gulf Stream plays an important role in the prediction of weather and climate throughout Northern Europe, so improving understanding and thus, improving model prediction, could have an important impact on understanding future climate changes. The main objectives are: 1) Use different diagnostics in moderate and high resolution ocean models to gain understanding of the path of the Gulf Stream 2) Using this understanding, create and develop new models (mathematical and numerical) to improve the path of the Gulf Stream in moderate resolution ocean models. It's application and benefits are to improve understanding and prediction of weather and climate in Northern Europe. It will also allow the student to develop skills of key interest to the Met Office's mission.
