TOGA-COARE Enhanced Monitoring: A Meridional Array for Currents Along 165 E

该项目是合作努力的一部分，目的是获得海洋环流和大气强迫的长期(两年)观测，预计将于1992年底/1993年初在西太平洋暖池进行一项密集的实验，称为TOGA-COARE(海洋大气耦合响应实验)。长期测量将于1991年底开始，并持续到密集实验完成后很久，为密集实验提供总体环境背景。在这一部分，P.I.将与美国国家海洋和大气局太平洋海洋环境实验室和夏威夷大学的同事一起，部署和维护一系列配备了向上俯视声学多普勒海流剖面仪的海底系泊设备，这将提供密集实验附近区域250米上层环流的数据。

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, and the University of Hawaii, the P.I. will deploy and maintain an array of sub-surface moorings equipped with upward-looking Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers, which will provide data on the circulation in the upper 250 meters in a region near that of the intensive experiment.
