Short-Term Visit to Plan U.S.-Indonesia Cooperative Researchon Indonesian Ocean Circulation and Mixing

该奖项提供资金，允许印度尼西亚雅加达海洋学研究与发展中心海洋学处处长A.Gani Ilahude博士访问美国，与哥伦比亚大学Lamont-Doherty地质观测站Arnold L.Gordon博士计划开展为期一个月的印度尼西亚海洋环流和混合合作研究。这两位合作者还将敲定1991年一次研究巡航的研究报告，并于1992年12月在旧金山举行的美国地球物理联盟会议上报告他们的结果。研究太平洋水通过印度尼西亚群岛海峡进入印度洋的情况，对于了解全球海洋环流具有重大的科学意义。这两位合作者都是备受尊敬的科学家，在该项目领域拥有杰出的研究记录。目前的项目和他们将计划的研究将使他们能够结合他们的才华，实现互利共赢。该项目与发展中国家科学计划的目标相关，该计划旨在通过交流科学信息、思想、技能和技术，以及通过在互利问题上的合作，提高美国科学家和工程师与发展中国家同行之间的合作水平。戈登博士参与这一项目的支持是由美国国家科学基金会海洋科学部颁发的奖项提供的。

This award provides funds to permit Dr. A. Gani Ilahude, Chief, Oceanography Division, Research and Development Centre for Oceanology, Jakarta, Indonesia, to visit the United States to plan, for a period of one month, with Dr. Arnold L. Gordon, Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory, Columbia University, collaborative research on Indonesian Ocean Circulation and Mixing. The two collaborators also will finalize research reports on a 1991 research cruise and report their results at an American Geophysical Union Meeting in San Francisco, in December 1992. The study of the throughflow of Pacific Ocean water into the Indian Ocean via straits in the Indonesian Archipelago is a matter of great scientific interest in gaining an understanding global ocean circulation. The two collaborators are highly respected scientists who have outstanding records of research in the field of this project. The present project and the research which they will plan will allow them to combine their talents for mutual benefit. This project is relevant to the objectives of the Science in Developing Countries Program which seeks to increase the level of cooperation between U.S. scientists and engineers and their counterparts in developing countries through the exchange of scientific information, ideas, skills, and techniques and through collaboration on problems of mutual benefit. Support of Dr. Gordon's participation in this project is provided through an award from the NSF Division of Ocean Sciences.
