In this project, data from a profiling current meter will be added to 27 sections of upper-ocean Acoustic Doppler Current profiles collected during the NORPAX shuttle between Hawaii and Tahiti during 1979-1980. Earlier restrictive hypotheses will be relaxed to provide more realistic assessments of the instability of the equatorial current system. The data will also allow extension of the calculations from a 14 degree band to a 36 degree band about the equator.

在这个项目中，一个剖面流计的数据将被添加到1979-1980年期间在夏威夷和塔希提岛之间的NORPAX穿梭期间收集的27个海洋上层声学多普勒流剖面中。早先的限制性假设将被放宽，以便对赤道洋流系统的不稳定性提供更现实的评估。这些数据还将允许将赤道周围14度波段的计算扩展到36度波段。
