0333517 CollinsThis project is a one year study to initiate continuous measurements of water properties and velocity at the entrance of the Gulf of California to understand the processes controlling the exchange of mass and heat between the Gulf of California and the Pacific Ocean. This is collaboration with Mexican Scientists at the Universitad Autonoma de Baja California in Ensenada. Specific scientific objectives include: to determine the kinematics of the forcing of the Gulf by the Pacific Ocean, to determine the characteristics of the water masses exchanged between the pacific and the Gulf of California, and to determine if the circulation yields the fluxes of heat needed to reproduce the observed warming and cooling of the Gulf.Broader Impacts: the US Scientists involved in this project will training their Mexican counterpart and their technical staff in deploying moorings. The scientific analysis of the data will be done jointly, thus fostering international collaborations.

0333517 Collins本项目是一项为期一年的研究，旨在开始对加州湾入口处的水的性质和速度进行连续测量，以了解控制加州湾和太平洋之间质量和热量交换的过程。这是与恩塞纳达下加利福尼亚自治大学的墨西哥科学家合作。具体的科学目标包括：确定太平洋对墨西哥湾强迫的运动学，确定太平洋和加州湾之间交换的水团的特征，并确定环流是否产生再现墨西哥湾观测到的变暖和变冷所需的热通量。参与该项目的美国科学家将培训墨西哥同行及其技术人员部署系泊系统。将共同对数据进行科学分析，从而促进国际合作。
