Structure, Energetics and Dynamics of Gulf Stream Variability

该项目将通过部署一组电流计和双耳反向回声测深仪来研究墨西哥湾流变化的结构、能量学和动力学。该仪器的设计目的是获取数据来解释墨西哥湾流中发生的能量交换。该项目是一个更大的研究项目SYNOP的一部分，该项目将利用该实验和其他实验的数据来解决有关西部边界流系统可预测性的基本问题。这是一项为期五年的研究，在1988年春季部署，89年重新部署，90年恢复，与Watts， URI（8717144）一起进行。

This project will investigate the structure, energetics and dynamics of Gulf Stream variability by deploying an array of current meters and inverted echo sounders for two }ears. The instrumentation is designed to obtain data to interpret the energy exchanges occuring in the Gulf Stream. The project is part of a larger study, SYNOP, which will utilize data from this and other experiments to address fundamental questions concerning the predictability of Western Boundary Current systems. This is a five year study with deployments in spring '88, redeploy in '89, and recovery in '90 in conjunction with Watts, URI (8717144).
