Coastal Ocean Response Experiment

GALE(大西洋低涡起源实验)是1986年1-3月对美国东部沿海地区的严重冬季风暴进行的一项重要研究。对洋流和水性质进行了海洋学测量，以更好地评估大陆架和墨西哥湾流对严重风暴的反应，并量化沿海海洋对这些风暴的影响。在这个项目中，P.I.S将继续对这些数据进行分析和模型测试，以便更好地了解严酷条件下控制陆架循环和交换的物理过程。

GALE (Genesis of Atlantic Lows Experiment), a major study of severe winter storms along the eastern U.S. seaboard, was conducted during January - March, 1986. Oceanographic measurements of currents and water properties were made to better assess the response of the shelf and Gulf Stream to severe storms, and to quantify the effects of the coastal ocean on these storms. In this project, the P.I.'s will continue the analysis of these data and testing of models in order to better understand the physical processes governing shelf circulation and exchange under severe conditions.
