Abstract ATM-9415947 Pillsbury, R. Dale Oregon State University Title: BEST: Benguela Current Sources and Transport, Current Meter Data Analysis The BEST (Benguela Current Sources and Transport) program was designed to monitor the transport of the Benguela Current during 1992-1993 and relate its variability to regional phenomena, such as the Agulhas Retroflection and eddy shedding. The Project OCE- 9116922 was funded at Oregon State University for three years starting August 1, 1991 to prepare, install and recover the current meter moorings used as a part of the field work for BEST. This grant will continue that work and analyze those data to assist in their integration into the much larger data set collected by BEST. The scientific objectives and methodology were described in the original proposal. The data set consists of a June 1992 to November 1993 moored array of Inverted Echo Sounders, Pressure/Inverted Echo Sounders, and Current Meters; CTD data set along the line of mooring deployments during June 1992, November 1993 and a more extensive set of stations in May 1993. The analysis will be carried out by A. L. Gordon, LDEO, (specialty-water mass stratification; S.L. Garzoli (specialty-IES/PIES), also at LDEO, after her assignment with NSF; and Dale Pillsbury, OSU, (specialty-current meters). This research is important because it seeks to provide new knowledge about ocean currents and transports that would enhance our ability to understand and model ocean circulations.

摘要ATM-9415947 Pillsbury，R.戴尔俄勒冈州州立大学标题：最佳：本格拉电流源和传输，电流计数据分析 BEST（本格拉海流来源和输送）方案的目的是监测1992-1993年期间本格拉海流的输送情况，并将其变异性与区域现象，如厄古拉斯回折和涡流脱落联系起来。 项目OCE- 9116922由俄勒冈州州立大学资助，从1991年8月1日开始为期三年，以准备、安装和恢复作为BEST现场工作一部分的海流计系泊装置。 这笔赠款将继续这项工作，并分析这些数据，以协助他们融入更大的数据集收集的最好的。 科学目标和方法已在原提案中作了说明。 该数据集包括1992年6月至1993年11月的反向回声测深仪、压力/反向回声测深仪和海流计系泊阵列; CTD数据集沿着1992年6月至1993年11月期间的系泊部署线，以及1993年5月的一组更广泛的台站。 分析将由A进行。L. Gordon，LDEO，（特殊水体分层; S.L. Garzoli（专业IES/PIES），也在LDEO，在她与NSF的任务后;和Dale Pillsbury，OSU，（专业电流计）。 这项研究很重要，因为它试图提供有关洋流和运输的新知识，这将提高我们理解和模拟海洋环流的能力。
