This award will support analytical and numberical studies               of eddy-environment interactions.  Past theoretical efforts                     have concentrated on the evolution of isolated eddies on a beta                 plane.  This study will examine:  1. The dynamics of                            ventilating warm, rings;  2. The interactions of warm rings                     with western boundary currents; 3. The interactions of rings                    and neighboring mesoscale phenomena; 4. Warm ring interactions,                 with western meridional boundaries; and, 5. The structure and                   dynamics of "thick" eddies.  The overall objective is to apply                  the novel dynamics being developed by the P.I.'s to clarify the                 dynamical links between eddies and the large scale general                      circulation.
