Hydrographic Observations along 20W in the North and South Atlantic Oceans

该项目提供了收集、分析和 北大西洋水文数据的解释。 的 如果底座由历史悠久的Nasen瓶组合而成， 站，一套长线CTD数据收集超过 在过去的六年里， 北大西洋和南大西洋（北方部分将完成 （1988年），南线。 具体研究， 北大西洋包括纬向流场内的 副极地环流，副极地和 副热带环流和低纬高压的影响 纬度对流 在南大西洋， 因为数据更稀疏， 总的目标是使我们的理解达到同样的水平， 这是在北方发展起来的。

This project provides for the collection, analysis, and interpretation of North Atlantic Hydrographic data. The base if formed by a combination of historical Nasen bottle stations, a set for long lines of CTD data collection over the past six years, and new long meridional sections in the North and South Atlantic (the northern section would be done 1988 and the southern section 1989). Specific studies in the North Atlantic include the zonal flow field within the subpolar gyre, exchange of water between the subpolar and subtropical gyres, and the low latitude nfluence of high latitude convection. In the South Atlantic the endeavors are more exploratory because the data are more sparse and the general goal is to bring our understanding up to the same level that has been developed in the north.
