Modeling in paleoceanography
Tóm tắt
The two last decades of research in paleoceanography are characterized by extensive data collection and by the development of numerous hypotheses based on these data. Both the nature of the thermohaline circulation and the nature of the surface circulation during past times are currently being debated. Physical models of the ocean circulation are beginning to play an important role in these debates. The models range from highly simplified mathematical representations intended to illustrate physical principles to three-dimensional time-dependent global models intended to simulate temperature, salinity and flow fields. At the very least such models can be applied to explore the limitations or appropriateness of various assumptions in paleoceanography. At the very best, paleoceanographic data may be used as a verification of simulations of past oceans.
