Analysis of the Upper Ocean Budgets of Heat, Salt and Momentum

对海表面温度、海表面盐度和混合层环流的拉格朗日测量的广泛数据集将与来自其他来源的欧拉测量(热带海洋全球大气(TOGA)计划观测系统的系泊设备和在耦合海洋大气响应实验(COARE)期间部署的系泊设备)一起使用，以汇编40个月期间西热带太平洋表面环流和海平面的时空描述。目标是确定热带混合层海洋动力场在天到月的时间尺度上的水平结构和平流性质的演变。此外，还将检验这样一种假设，即赤道热量和盐度的大空间尺度变化是由吉田急流的平流决定的。高空海洋资料集还将被用来将近地表湍流通量辐合作为地表通量的函数进行参数化，为确定地表通量提供了另一种方法。

An extensive data set of Lagrangian measurements of sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity and mixed layer circulation will used in conjunction with Eulerian measurements from other sources (moorings from the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) program's observing system and moorings deployed during the Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE)) to assemble a space-time description of the surface circulation and sea level of the western tropical Pacific Ocean over a 40-month period. The goal is to determine the horizontal structure and evolution of the advective properties of oceanic dynamic fields in the tropical mixed layer on time scales of days to months. In addition, the hypothesis that large spatial scale variations of heat and salinity at the equator are determined by advection from wind-driven Yoshida jets will be examined. The upper ocean data set will also be used to parameterize the near surface turbulent flux convergence as a function of surface fluxes, provide an alternate way to determine surface fluxes.
