英文摘要 | The turbulent oceanic flows consist of complex motions - jets, vortices and waves that co-exist on very different spatio-temporal scales but also without clear scale separation. Along with computational challenges to simulate multiscale oceanic circulation in high numerical resolution, as well as resulting difficulties in dynamically and kinematical understanding of multiscale flows, naturally goes practical need to develop emulators, i.e. prognostic models of reduced complexity that would reproduce dynamically the whole complexity of turbulent oceanic motions across scales. This initiative aims to develop such emulators by mathematical, i.e. equations-based as well as data-driven reduction methods, describing evolution of relatively few (from tens to hundreds) spatio-temporal modes and capturing essential statistical properties of the underlying multiscale oceanic flow and stratification. It will combine development and applications of state-of-the-art data-adaptive methods and rigorous mathematical theory for dynamical and empirical reduction in the hierarchy of oceanic models from the quasi-geostrophic to primitive equations. The goals of this proposal are (i) to extend recent theoretical results and to emulate the full spectrum of dynamically important scales including mesoscale eddies; (ii) to demonstrate that the stochastic and nonlinear flow emulators can provide fundamental novel insights into dynamical and kinematical properties of the multiscale transient flow patterns and their interactions, and to search for dynamical interpretations of nonlinear mode interactions; (iii) to extend empirical and dynamical reduction methods to spatially inhomogeneous and turbulent flows; (iv) to consider several types of dynamically simulated eddying flows of the ocean circulation in the hierarchy of oceanic models across full spectrum of complexity and geography, from anisotropic beta-plane turbulence on zonal currents, and wind-driven gyres with western boundary currents, to comprehensive solutions by Regional Oceanic Modeling System, and, thus, to develop efficient emulators for the eddying multiscale flows, (v) to embed the stochastic and nonlinear flow emulators into non-eddy-resolving dynamical oceanic models as effective parameterizations of the eddy effects. The intellectual merit of this project is in developing versatile and novel methods to construct stochastic oceanic emulators of reduced complexity, based either on high-end model simulations or underlying dynamical equations, or both, and capturing oceanic dynamics across scales, i.e., from large-scale decadal variability to mesoscale eddies, and resulting dynamical and kinematical understanding of multiscale flows. The project's broader impacts lie in developing methods that are very general and can be easily adopted to other sciences. The statistical models that emulate the turbulent flows in a coarse-grained sense can be adopted as efficient and low-cost emulators for oceanic components of general circulation models. The project represents perfect fit to NSF-NERC program goals of fostering USA-UK research and perfect opportunity for the postdocs to get engaged into the leading-edge international research. Eddy-resolving solutions data and software will be made public. |
