Coastal Ocean Response Experiment

1986年1月至3月，美国东部沿海地区进行了一项关于冬季强风暴的主要研究——GALE（大西洋低压起源实验）。洋流和水特性的海洋学测量是为了更好地评估大陆架和墨西哥湾流对强风暴的反应，并量化沿海海洋对这些风暴的影响。在这个项目中，私家侦探noaa将继续分析这些数据并测试模型，以便更好地了解在恶劣条件下控制大陆架流通和交换的物理过程。

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.
