This award will support collaborative research in physical oceanography between Dr. Silvia Garzoli, Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory of Columbia University and Dr. Alberto Piola of the Servicio de Hidrografia Naval in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The objective of the project is to analyze data from an international high resolution study of the confluence zones of the Brazil and Malvinas currents. A large international effort by the US, France, and Argentina to study the dynamics of the Southwestern Atlantic will be completed by early 1990. The program consists of intensive field work based primarily on the deployment of a large array of instruments (inverted echo sounders and current meter moorings) for a period of 18 months, the collection of infrared satellite images for a period of two years, and the realization of three hydrographic/nutrients extensive surveys. The study will result in a jointly-collected, valuable and extensive set of oceanographic data available for calibration, reduction and analysis. This award will provide funds for Dr. Garzoli to visit Argentina for the purpose of establishing standards for common data calibration and for a computer data link between Argentina and Lamont-Doherty. This will facilitate the joint data analysis and consequent joint scientific inter-pretation of the whole system of circulation and thermohaline variability in the Southwestern Atlantic.

该奖项将支持哥伦比亚大学拉蒙特-多尔蒂地质观测站的西尔维娅·加尔佐利博士和阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯海军水文服务局的阿尔贝托·皮奥拉博士在物理海洋学方面的合作研究。该项目的目的是分析巴西和马尔维纳斯海流汇流区的国际高分辨率研究数据。美国、法国和阿根廷为研究西南大西洋的动态而进行的一项大型国际努力将于1990年初完成。该计划包括密集的野外工作，主要基于18个月的大量仪器（反向回声测深仪和海流计系泊）的部署，两年的红外卫星图像收集，以及三次水文/营养广泛调查的实现。这项研究将产生一套共同收集的、有价值的和广泛的海洋学数据，可用于校准、减少和分析。这笔奖金将为Garzoli博士访问阿根廷提供资金，目的是建立共同数据校准标准，并在阿根廷和Lamont-Doherty之间建立计算机数据链。这将有助于对西南大西洋整个环流系统和温盐变率进行联合数据分析，进而进行联合科学解释。
