Funds are provided for the PIs to collect two bathymetric transects of sediment cores on the southern Florida margin and the western margin of the Great Bahama Bank. The PIs will also reconstruct the history of the flow for the Florida Current through the Straits since the last glacial maximum on millennial to centennial time scales through the Holocene and last deglaciation based on these and existing cores. The work will further our understanding of circulation changes in the Florida Current system and therefore the heat transport to high northern latitudes.

为 PI 提供资金，以收集位于佛罗里达州南部边缘和大巴哈马浅滩西部边缘的两条沉积物岩心测深横断面。 PI 还将基于这些核心和现有核心，重建自千禧年至百年时间尺度上的末次盛冰期到全新世和末次冰消期以来佛罗里达洋流流经海峡的历史。 这项工作将进一步了解佛罗里达洋流系统的环流变化，以及向北部高纬度地区的热量输送。
