A one-month time series of high-resolution current profiles in the upper 300 m in the Western Pacific Warm Pool will be collected with side-looking and down-looking Doppler sonars. The purpose of the study is to characterize the internal wave field generated by westerly wind bursts and the effects on mixing and fluxes near the Ocean-Atmosphere interface. The observations will take place in late 1992 to early 1993 during the Intensive Observation Period (IOP) of the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere's Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE). The goal of the experiment is to understand and describe the oceanic response to Westerly wind bursts and rainfall.

利用侧视和下视多普勒声纳收集西太平洋暖池上游300米的一个月时间序列的高分辨率洋流剖面。研究的目的是表征西风爆发所产生的内波场及其对海洋-大气界面附近混合和通量的影响。观测将于1992年底至1993年初在热带海洋-全球大气耦合海洋-大气响应试验（TOGA COARE）的密集观察期（IOP）进行。实验的目的是了解和描述海洋对西风爆发和降雨的反应。
