Upper Ocean Thermohaline Response to Wind and Buoyancy Forcing in the Western Equatorial Pacific

该项目是合作努力的一部分，以获得长期- 海洋环流和大气的定期（2年）观测 为了进行一项密集的实验， 1992年底/1993年初的西太平洋暖池，称为 TOGA-COARE（耦合海洋大气响应实验）。 长- 定期测量将于1991年晚些时候开始，一直持续到1992年 在密集实验完成后，提供整体 环境背景下的密集实验。 在这 与NOAA太平洋海洋的同事一起， 环境实验室，P.I.的将部署和维护一个 热敏电阻链和具有表面的导电系泊装置的阵列 气象包 该阵列将提供海洋数据 结构和大气强迫，而单独流速计 由其他合作者部署的阵列将产生海洋数据， 流通

This project is part of a collaborative effort to obtain long- term (2 years) observations of ocean circulation and atmospheric forcing, in anticipation of an intensive experiment planned for the Western Pacific Warm Pool in late 1992/early 1993, called TOGA-COARE (Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment). Long- term measurements will begin in late 1991, and continue until well after the intensive experiment is completed, providing the overall environmental context for the intensive experiment. In this component, together with colleagues at NOAA's Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, the P.I.'s will deploy and maintain an array of thermistor chain and conductivity moorings having surface meteorological packages. This array will provide data on ocean structure and atmospheric forcing, while separate current meter arrays, deployed by other collaborators, will yield data on ocean circulation.
