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.

在该项目中，PI将在北太平洋西部地区部署约50个Rafos Floats和相关的跟踪网络，以研究1992 - 1995年期间的地下循环。 这些浮子的大多数将在1000米的深度部署，其余的深度为3000米。 这些浮子中的大多数将部分满足北太平洋西部世界海洋循环实验（WOCE）的要求，而所有这些都将与同一地区的海军（海军海洋学和大气研究实验室）合作，以研究西部边界电流，除了该地区的一般循环外。
