This proposal is to collect tracer and hydrographic data in connection 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 Nowlin (8917338) and Pillsbury (9002709) and the New Zealand Oceanographic Institution. It is a component of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE).

这项提议是为了收集与部署和回收新西兰附近太平洋上的一套测流计系泊设施有关的示踪剂和水文数据。其目的是测量流入太平洋盆地的深水。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罪魁祸首。这项工作与Nowlin(8917338)和Pillsbury(9002709)以及新西兰海洋研究所的建议相协调。它是世界海洋环流实验(WOCE)的一个组成部分。
