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提供了资金，以便在佛罗里达南部边缘和大巴哈马海岸西部边缘收集沉积物岩心的两个等深线样。pi还将根据这些和现有的岩心，重建佛罗里达洋流自末次冰期极大期以来，在千年到百年的时间尺度上，通过全新世和末次冰消期，通过海峡的流动历史。这项工作将进一步加深我们对佛罗里达洋流系统环流变化的理解，从而进一步了解北高纬度地区的热输送。
