A Time-Series Study of Ocean Climate in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre

本项目通过在夏威夷海洋时间序列（HOT）进行额外两年的水文采样，将记录延长至15年，重点观察和了解北太平洋副热带环流中与海洋气候相关的过程。这项工作也支持HOT的生物地球化学研究部分。对时间序列的分析将通过将HOT观测结果与数值模式相结合来了解这种变化的原因，从而寻求改进我们对海洋气候变化的描述。特别是，副热带锋的俯冲过程将与HOT站点观测到的水团变化有关，包括由于海气相互作用引起的表层变化。该项目还将为气候变率和可预测性（CLIVAR）计划作出贡献。

This work also support the biogeochemistry research component of HOT. The analysis of the time series will seek to improve our description of ocean climate variability by combining observation from HOT with numerical models to understand the causes of this variability. In particular, the subduction process at the subtropical front will be studied in relation to water mass variability observed at the HOT site, including surface layer variations due to air-sea interactions. This project will also contribute to the Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) Program.
