This RAPID project is to deploy instrumentation to study the behavior of the Gulf Stream at the region where it detaches from the continental margin. Instrument deployments will be leveraged by ongoing activities in the area, as part of the Ocean Observatories Initiative's Pioneer array, near the shelf break north of Cape Hatteras. Likewise, these deployments will provide complementary information to that obtained from the Pioneer array. The RAPID project will involve students at different stages in college and graduate school.This one-year RAPID grant is to deploy two inverted echo sounders (CPIEs, with current meters and pressure sensors) over the continental slope north of Cape Hatteras, where the Gulf Stream separates from the continental margin. Instruments will be installed at depths of 1000 m during a period of 4 years. Deployments will take place in June 2024 with ships of opportunity and adjacent to the new location of the Coastal Pioneer Array. Data will be sent to shore via satellite link and shared via a Zenodo repository. Information from these deployments will complement continental shelf data from the Pioneer array, and will be used to study multi-scale (in time) processes associated with Gulf Stream separation from the continental margin. As Broader Impacts, the CPIEs measurements will help in quantification of exchange processes between the shelf and the open ocean. The project will include two undergraduate and two graduate students.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteriaThis award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这个快速的项目是部署工具，以研究墨西哥湾流的行为，从而从大陆边缘分离。作为海洋天文台倡议的一部分，该地区正在进行的活动将利用仪器部署，并将其部署在哈特拉斯角以北的货架上破裂。同样，这些部署将为从先锋阵列获得的互补信息提供补充信息。这项快速项目将涉及大学和研究生院不同阶段的学生。这项为期一年的快速赠款是在哈特拉斯角以北的大陆坡上部署两个倒置的回声响料（CPIE，电流和压力传感器），那里的墨西哥湾流与大陆边际分离。 仪器将在4年期间安装在1000 m的深度。部署将于2024年6月举行，并与沿海先驱阵列的新位置相邻。数据将通过卫星链接发送到岸边，并通过Zenodo存储库共享。来自这些部署的信息将补充先锋阵列中的大陆货架数据，并将用于研究与大陆边缘与海湾流分离相关的多尺度（及时）过程。随着更广泛的影响，CPIES的测量将有助于量化货架和公海之间的交换过程。该项目将包括两名本科和两名研究生。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过评估的支持，使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响，这反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过该基金会的知识绩效和广泛的影响来评估NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过评估来支持的。
