Deep Western Boundary Current Measurements in the Brazil Basin

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

A series of deep current meter moorings will be deployed in the Brazilian rise (deep western boundary current) in support of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment's Deep Basin Experiment (DBE). The objectives of this study are (1) to observe and quantify the deep circulation, (2) to distinguish between boundary and interior mixing and (3) to study the nature of boundary mixing.
