mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin;color:black">The main goal of this position is to advance our understanding of (tidal) internal
gravity waves in global HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) simulations: i.e., their generation, dispersion, interactions with the background flow, and dissipation. Stationary internal tides “dissipate” due to the scattering of energy to the nonstationary
tide and to higher harmonics. The scattering to higher harmonics can be due to the nonlinear steepening of energetic internal tides. One objective is to determine how well this process is simulated in hydrostatic global ocean model simulations with various
horizontal and vertical resolutions.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span><br>
<br>
The successful candidate is expected to diagnose internal wave energetics in HYCOM simulations, validate these simulations with existing observations, assist in performing HYCOM simulations (if needed), collaborate with project scientists and students, write
first-author manuscripts for peer-review publications (~1/year) related to the ONR-TFO project and participate as co-author on other manuscripts, disseminate scientific results at national/international conferences and ONR meetings, contribute to annual report
preparation, as required by the funding agency, and perform other duties as assigned.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">
