Abstract/Avery-(ATM-9614613) The objectives of this research are: (1) to continue our observations of the atmospheric processes that operate throughout the tropical Pacific using the Tropical Pacific Profiler Network (TPPN), (2) to extend our existing multi-year observations into projected periods of strong climate variability, (3) to extract from these observations accurate values of the three-dimensional wind fields, including mean values as well as seasonal and shorter- term variability (e.g., tidal and gravity wave intesities, (4) using TPPN results in conjunction with other data bases, to study the relationship between these quantities and global circulation, El Nino, tropical convection, tropical rainfall estimation and diabatic heating, and orographyically-generated waves, and (5) to provide data from the profiler network to the rest of the scientific community by means of an Internet Web Site as well as by digital computer disks.

摘要/Avery-(ATM-9614613)这项研究的目标是：(1)继续使用热带太平洋廓线网络对整个热带太平洋的大气过程进行观测，(2)将我们现有的多年观测扩展到强气候变率的预测时期，(3)从这些观测中提取三维风场的精确值，包括平均值以及季节和较短时间的变率(例如，潮汐和重力波积分)，(4)使用热带太平洋廓线网络的结果与其他数据库相结合，研究这些量与全球环流、厄尔尼诺、热带对流、热带降雨量估计和非绝热加热以及地形产生的波之间的关系，以及(5)通过因特网网站和数字计算机磁盘向科学界其他部门提供来自剖面仪网络的数据。
