This collaborative effort is for the analysis of turbulence, shear and internal waves data collected on the Equator as part of the 1991 Tropical Instability Wave Experiment (TIWE). TIWE was designed to study the effects of the 21-days tropical instability waves on mixing and internal waves. The scientific issues to be addressed in the analysis include the deep diurnal mixing cycle, turbulence within the surface mixed layer and below the core of the Equatorial Undercurrent, the role of upper ocean turbulence in sea surface temperature modification,and the statistical distribution of dissipation rates.

这项合作工作是为了分析作为1991年热带不稳定波实验（TIWE）的一部分在赤道收集的湍流、切变和内波数据。TIWE旨在研究21天热带不稳定波对混合波和内波的影响。在分析中需要解决的科学问题包括深层日混合循环、赤道潜流表面混合层内和核心以下的湍流、上层海洋湍流在海面温度变化中的作用以及耗散率的统计分布。
