Johns9819506Support is provided to study the outflow of the Red Sea into the Gulf of Aden and to trace its path into the Indian Ocean. The Red Sea Outflow differs from other such flows in its low latitude position, the shallow sill control, and a seasonal variability in transport. Little has been done to describe this flow quantitatively. Observations proposed included: 1. Two high-resolution hydrographic and direct velocity surveys of the western Gulf of Aden, at times of maximum (winter) and minimum (summer) transport; 2. Direct measurements of turbulent mixing to study bottom and entrainment stresses; and, 3. Deployment of acoustically tracked RAFOS floats to track the flow into the Indian Ocean.

约翰斯9819506提供支助，以研究红海流入亚丁湾的水流，并追踪其流入印度洋的路径。 红海外流不同于其他这样的流量在其低纬度的位置，浅的窗台控制，并在运输的季节性变化。 很少有人对这种流动进行定量描述。 提出的意见包括：1。 在最大（冬季）和最小（夏季）运输时间对亚丁湾西部进行两次高分辨率水文和直接流速调查; 2. 直接测量湍流混合以研究底部和卷吸应力; 3. 部署声学跟踪RAFOS浮标，以跟踪流入印度洋的水流。
