Mass transfer through the submarine
canyons. EU project INTAS 01-0460 (2002-2005)
Partners:
- Centre Mediterrani
d’Investigacions Marines i Ambientales, Instituto de Ciencias del Mar
(Barcelona, Spain)
- University of
Plymouth, Institute of Marine Studies (UK)
- P.P.Shirshov
Institute of Oceanology (Moscow, Russia) Kaliningrad State University,
Geography Department (Russia)
- Lavrentyev Institute
of Hydrodynamics, Department of Theoretical Hydrodynamics (Novosibirsk,
Russia)
Objectives:
The main goal of the project is
to provide a deeper understanding of physical mechanisms that control
the hydrodynamic regimes associated with submarine canyons and to
evaluate their impact on mass transfer between the continental shelf
and open ocean.
