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 years. 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 predicability of Western Boundary Current systems. This is a five year study with deployments in spring 88, redeploy in 89, and recovery in 90.

该项目将通过部署当前仪表和倒置回声声音两年来研究墨西哥湾流变异性的结构，能量和动态。 该仪器旨在获取数据以解释海湾流中发生的能量交换。 该项目是一项较大研究的一部分，即Synop，该研究将利用该实验和其他实验中的数据来解决有关西部边界当前系统的预测性的基本问题。 这是一项为期五年的研究，在88春季部署，重新部署89，恢复90。
