This proposal is to collect tracer and hydrographic data in conjunction with the deployment and recovery of a suite of current meter moorings in the Pacific Ocean near New Zealand. The purpose is to measure the influx of deep waters into the Pacific Basin. Deep water flow in this region has never been measured, although it is responsible for the principal water masses in the Pacific. The work is coordinated with proposals by Warren (9002709) and Pillsbury (9002709) and the New Zealand Oceanographic Institution. It is a component of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE).

该提案旨在收集示踪剂和水文学数据，同时在新西兰附近的太平洋部署和恢复一套海流计系泊装置。 目的是测量流入太平洋盆地的深水量。 该地区的深水流量从未被测量过，尽管它是太平洋主要水团的来源。 这项工作与 Warren (9002709) 和 Pillsbury (9002709) 以及新西兰海洋研究所的提案相协调。 它是世界海洋环流实验（WOCE）的组成部分。
