Lagrangian Studies of the Western North Pacific Circulation During WOCE

在这个项目中，PI将在西北太平洋部署大约50个RAFOS浮标和一个相关的跟踪网络，以研究1992-1995年期间的地下环流。这些浮标的大部分将部署在1000米的深度，其余的将部署在3000米的深度。其中大多数将部分满足北太平洋西部世界海洋环流实验的要求，而所有这些都将与同一区域的海军(海军海洋和大气研究实验室)合作，除研究该区域的一般环流外，还将研究西部边界流。

In this project, the PI will deploy about 50 RAFOS floats and an associated tracking network in the western North Pacific to study the subsurface circulation during 1992-1995. The majority of these floats will be deployed at a depth of 1000 meters, with the remainder at a depth of 3000 meters. Most of these floats will fulfil, in part, the requirements for the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) in the western North Pacific, while all will be in collaboration with a Navy (Naval Oceanographic and Atmospheric Research Laboratory) effort in the same region to study western boundary currents in addition to the general circulation in the region.
