This work will study the dynamics and structure of energetic intermediate time scale (several day to several week) variations of the Florida Current. Recent current meter and "Pegasus" profiler measurements collected as part of the Subtropical Atlantic Climate Studies (STACS) program will be used. These data provide a unique means of addressing these problems directly. Topics to be explored include: 1. Dynamics and modes of variation of the large amplitude intermediate time-scale fluctuations: 2. Seasonal variations in the struture of intermediate time-scale fluctuation, and their relation to local wind forcing; and 3. The energetics of the fluctuations and their contribution to the mean energy balance of the Florida Current.

这项工作将研究佛罗里达洋流能量中间时间尺度(几天到几周)变化的动力学和结构。作为亚热带大西洋气候研究(STAC)计划的一部分，将使用最近收集的海流计和“飞马”剖面仪的测量结果。这些数据为直接解决这些问题提供了独特的手段。将探讨的问题包括：1.大幅度中时间尺度波动的动力学和变化模式；2.中时间尺度波动结构的季节变化及其与局地风强迫的关系；3.波动的能量学及其对佛罗里达海流平均能量平衡的贡献。
