This experiment is aimed at measuring the structure and evolution of coastal and estuarine near-surface fronts by using a combination of novel instruments like a moored acoustic imaging SONAR, fully lagrangian floats and an autonomous underwater vehicle equipped with hydrographic sensors. The goal of the exploratory research is to identify the mechanisms and scales responsible for mixing in the upper ocean.

本实验旨在通过使用新型仪器，如系泊声成像声纳、全拉格朗日浮子和配备水文传感器的自主水下航行器，测量海岸和河口近地表锋面的结构和演变。探索性研究的目的是确定上层海洋混合的机制和尺度。
