Summer 2013

This summer I have been examining a phenomenological model of the flow in a rotating can, which may be analogous to submesoscale ocean eddy flow. I hope to spend the rest of the summer investigating the effect the overturning rate has on modeled phytoplankton growth through a simple quadratic NPZ model using the rotating can flow. Read on for more of what's been done so far.
