Structure, Energetics and Dynamics of Gulf Stream Variability

该项目将研究结构，能量学和 湾流变化的动力学， 两耳的海流计和倒置回声测深仪。 的 仪器的设计是为了获得数据来解释 墨西哥湾流中的能量交换 该项目 一个更大的研究的一部分，SYNOP，这将利用数据从这个 和其他实验来解决 西部边界流系统的可预测性。 这是 一项为期五年的研究，在88年春天部署， 89年，90年与密苏里州瓦茨一起恢复 （8717144）。

This project will investigate the structure, energetics and dynamics of Gulf Stream variability by deploying an array of current meters and inverted echo sounders for two }ears. The instrumentation is designed to obtain data to interpret the energy exchanges occuring in the Gulf Stream. The project is part of a larger study, SYNOP, which will utilize data from this and other experiments to address fundamental questions concerning the predictability of Western Boundary Current systems. This is a five year study with deployments in spring '88, redeploy in '89, and recovery in '90 in conjunction with Watts, URI (8717144).
