It has been observed that when a strong current, such as the Gulf               Stream, interacts with topography, such as the New England                      Seamounts or the Bahama banks, eddies are formed on the lee side                of the topographic feature. This proposal is to study the process               of eddy generation and decay by steady and unsteady flows past                  topographic features. Boyer (with Davies) will simulate in a tank               experiment the effect of moving diverse topographic shapes                      through a rotating, stratified fluid; Holland will simulate the                 same physical system with a primitive equation 20 layer computer                model. Results will be compared to determine the range of para-                 meter space in which the model can predict the lab experiments                  and ascertain which conclusions are relevant to ocean dynamics.
