This proposal is to continue investigation on topics of large                   scale circulation theory. With the aid of numerical and                         analytical models, Ierley has determined the effect of boundary                 conditions, western boundary layers and inertial jets on the                    vorticity balance of quasi-geostrophic (QG) ocean models. The                   main aspect of these studies is to comprehend the physical                      reasons for the features exhibited by the numerical solutions.                  Ierley has produced very valuable contributions to the theory of                ocean circulation with his analysis of "q-driven" models, models                in which the interior flow is determined by the advection and                   diffusion of potential vorticity. He will analyze very high                     resolution, low viscosity QG model solutions which show western                 boundary separation and intense inertial recirculation. This                    analysis is critical to interpret results of ocean models used                  for climatic studies.
