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

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， 环境实验室和夏威夷大学，P.I. 将部署和维护一系列水下系泊设备， 上视声学多普勒海流剖面仪， 提供了250米以上的环流数据， 接近密集实验的区域。

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.
