Lagrangian Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Cold Water Filaments in Tropical Instability Waves

该项目是热带不稳定波实验(TIWE)的一个组成部分。海军陆战队的S将与TIWE的调查人员合作，将几个卫星追踪的漂流者群部署在北上流动的水丝中，这种水丝经常被观察到是不稳定波场的一部分。在跟随漂流者的同时，还将进行船上勘测，测量海底速度、温度、盐度和表面热流，以调查细丝的局部动力学和热力学。

This project is a component of the Tropical Instability Wave Experiment (TIWE). The P.I.'s, in collaboration with the TIWE investigators will deploy several clusters of satellite-tracked drifters in northward-flowing filaments of water that are frequently observed as part of the field of instability waves. Ship-board surveys, measuring subsurface velocity, temperature, salinity, and surface heat flux will also be carried out while following the drifters, in order to investigate local dynamics and thermodynamics of the filaments.
