Gulf Stream Air-Sea Interactions during Winter

在这个项目中，P.I.将继续研究冬季墨西哥湾流上空的海气相互作用过程。数据是在1986年1月至3月的冬季收集的，这是一个名为大西洋低气压起源实验（GALE）的跨学科项目的一部分。热量、水分和动量通量的测量与海洋温度结构的测量同时进行。该项目的具体目标是：1。调查整个时期海气相互作用的变异性；2. 研究冬季强大气冷却事件中墨西哥湾流的热收支3. 将Oey模型从陆架区域调整为包括墨西哥湾流；和 , 4所示。完成在比对飞行中从NOAA P-3和NCAR Electra飞机获得的数据的比对。

In this project, the P.I. will continue studies of wintertime air- sea interaction processes over the Gulf Stream. Data were collected during the winter season from January to March, 1986, as part of an interdisciplinary project called the Genesis of Atlantic Lows Experiment (GALE). Measurements of heat, moisture, and momentum fluxes were made simultaneously with measurements of ocean temperature structure. Specific objectives of this project will be: 1. investigate variability in air-sea interaction over the entire period; 2. Study the heat budget of the Gulf Stream during strong wintertime atmospheric cooling events; 3. Adapt the Oey model from the shelf region to include the Gulf Stream; and, 4. Complete the intercomparison of data obtained from the NOAA P-3 and the NCAR Electra aircraft during an intercomparison flight.
