9906776ChereskinThis project is a contribution to the World Ocean Circulation Experiment, In particular the AIMS (Analysis, Interpretation, Modeling, and Synthesis) component. In this project, the PI will carry out studies of circulation and transport in the tropical Indian Ocean at 8.5oNorth, and in the Indo-Australian Basin (IAB). The extensive set of ocean current measurements made using shipboard and lowered Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers will be interpreted, both themselves, and with velocity measurements from the other WOCE systems (floats, hydrography, tracers, etc.). As part of a group synthesis effort, this work will focus on regional studies of the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, and the Indo-Australian Basin. The overall objective will be to calculate the total top-to-bottom fluxes of heat, freshwater, chemical tracers, and nutrients for these three regions for comparison with models, and with other oceans at similar latitudes.

9906776Chereskin 该项目是对世界海洋环流实验的贡献，特别是 AIMS（分析、解释、建模和综合）部分。 在该项目中，PI将开展北纬8.5°热带印度洋和印度-澳大利亚海盆（IAB）的环流和输送研究。 使用船载和降低的声学多普勒海流剖面仪进行的广泛的洋流测量将被解释，无论是本身，还是来自其他 WOCE 系统（浮标、水文学、示踪剂等）的速度测量。 作为小组综合工作的一部分，这项工作将重点关注阿拉伯海、孟加拉湾和印度-澳大利亚盆地的区域研究。 总体目标是计算这三个区域从上到下的热量、淡水、化学示踪剂和营养物的总通量，以便与模型以及类似纬度的其他海洋进行比较。
