In this project, the P.I.'s will analyze data obtained on two cruises in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean during winter, 1984, and spring, 1987, as part of the TROPIC HEAT experiment. An unprecedented set of microstructure data was obtained, including 10,000 microstructure casts, 8,000 kilometers of thermistor chain tows, and several months of high-quality meteorological measurements. Analysis will focus on a variety of important questions relating turbulent dissipation, wind forcing, and internal waves in the equatorial environment.

在这个项目中，私家侦探作为回归线热实验的一部分，nasa将分析1984年冬季和1987年春季在赤道太平洋两次巡航所获得的数据。获得了一组前所未有的微观结构数据，包括10,000个微观结构铸件，8,000公里的热敏电阻链拖，以及几个月的高质量气象测量。分析将集中在与湍流耗散、风强迫和赤道环境内波有关的各种重要问题上。
