Acoustic Velocity Profiling in SYNOP

这项调查将解决区域能源的 通过部署一套声学多普勒， 从海流计向上指向的海流剖面仪（ADCP 系泊 ADCP的速度数据将用于 研究电流结构的变化， 控制系统不稳定性的过程。 此外，与卫星图像的比较将用于 确定表面热模式和 基本速度 该项目与一个主要的 墨西哥湾流项目，SYNOP，以获得动态信息 为了获得建模能力， 进化 该项目将与SYNOP密切协调， 特别是来自美国的科学家们的系泊实验， 罗得岛大学。

This investigation will address the regional energetics of the Gulf Stream system by deploying a set of acoustic doppler current profilers (ADCP) pointing upward from a current meter mooring. The velocity data from the ADCP's will be used to investigate variations in the structure of the current and processes governing the instabilities of the system. Additionally comparisons with satellite imagery will be used to determine correlations between surface thermal patterns and the underlying velocity. The project is in conjunction with a major Gulf Stream project, SYNOP, to obtain information on the dynamics of the Stream in order to gain modeling capability for its evolution. This project will be closely coordinated with SYNOP, and in particular with mooring experiments of scientists from the University of Rhode Island.
